Heh,
     We put some thought into it last year... it could easily be
done by marking properties and widgets as "Since 2.4" etc and just
disabling the properties/widget not yet implemented in the target
version, likewise it would be nice to do the same for
"Depricated since 2.4", I do recall that we discussed the possibility
of making that type of information introspectable from gtk+ (since
most of this information is already available in the api generation
hooks)...

Someone would just have to pick up the ball and do it...

Cheers,
