The pre-1.0 FLTK had the same problem, and we just had to draw a line
in the sand and focus on putting out a stable release, branch, and
then let Bill and others play in HEAD/trunk while we maintained 1.0
(and later 1.1).

Well, at this point I'd be happier seeing more work on making 2.0
stable (Sanel's been doing a lot of this kind of work lately, thanks
Sanel!) before 2.0/trunk moves to 3.0.  To (ab)use the example of
building a house, you need to build from the ground up, starting with
a solid foundation.  Right now 2.0's foundation is cracked and the
ground has shifted.  Before you move on to 3.0, you need to get 2.0
to at least a 1.0 level of stability...
