In my opinion, almost always needing the development version of e.g. GTK is what is keeping GIMP a project with hardly any contributors. But that's an application, not a framework. Still -- if you want to have a healthy project with many contributors, making it hard to develop by requiring lots of unpackaged isn't a good idea. -- Boudewijn Rempt | http://www.valdyas.org, http://www.krita.org
