The CVS version will always be changing. An up-to-date version of the GTK
port should be put _in_ CVS so that people who commit patches can do so
against both client sources, and keep both updated. Otherwise we would
just be playing catch-up forever.

I suggest once 1.7.2 is out, an updated GTK port is put into CVS,
nevermind it breaking everything for a while, and proceed from there. The
transition to multiple client targets has to happen sometime, and there is
no point in waiting since the GTK port itself is very much finished.

What do you say, Mitch, Trent?
