Derek, the reason for my plea is, that I'm having serious problems running the latest version on osx. You do not provide a binary in the website, compiling from source is sado-maso-exercise, and the fink project is still using gtk version 1. Do you think you can add a binary for osx in the websi

Hello, this is a plea to drop GTK in favour of a cross-platform toolkit, namely http://www.wxwidgets.org/. This is a meta-toolkit that is compatible with GTK and a range of other GUIs, so that it is possible to compile the program natively on platforms other than linux+gnome. The transition would
