There is a new spec file format that was created for general use. The document is located somewhere in the GTK+ module. It is important that g-wrap works with these new format. I think that in the case of Guile-gtk / Gnome-guile we do want to keep using these format. > Well, I want to make it clear that I'm not hung up on g-wrap as it is. > If we need to change things, or even if we decide that we need to work > on some other common effort, it sounds to me like a joint solution > would benefit everyone.
