There will be plenty of opportunity to help! We were waiting until we had a 
relatively complete subset that would:

- compile and run without obviously breaking anything
- allow people to critique/suggest architectural improvements
- provide examples on how it could be extended

For example, we left the text field widget as an exercise for the brave... ;-)

The architecture at this point includes a GTK theme converter and a very 
basic pixmap based engine. Merging the two for on-the-fly pickup of themes 
would be nice. Support for additional theme engines would also be welcome!

We are also prepared to do a complete rewrite with the help others once 
people have a chance to review the architecture and point out its shortcomings.

So this is just the 0.1 release, nothing more.
