Hmm, how did you make that tarball?  I don't think it is a proper
distribution.

Off the top of my head, here is the procedure for making a release:

- Fix bugs until "make distcheck" survives.

- Go thru the ChangeLog and bring the NEWS file uptodate.  For
  example, there should be short descriptions of the new "rect" type,
  of "define-structure" and of the multiple-return-value stuff.  Just
  ask the original author for the NEWS entries.

- Bump version number in configure.in and README

- Commit changes to CVS

- Tag the sources with "guile_gtk_0_17_release" by running

    % cd .../guile-gtk/
    % cvs tag -r guile_gtk_0_17_release

- Run "make dist"

Additions, anyone?

The announcement for 0.17 should include the relevant NEWS section
because there will be interesting things in it.
