Yes, it could be copied out of gnome-libs into The GIMP, but I'm not absolutely
happy with this solution. A lot of our users will have gnome-libs (you don't
need the core!!) installed anyway and GtkXmHTML will enlarge the GIMP 
distribution even more. 

But having the help system installed everywhere is very important, so what I'd
propose is distributing GtkXmHTML as a seperate package. Any automake/autoconf
gurus out there that want to take the job ??


Salut, Sven
