*** Description 

This is an unstable release, so that you can see the changes 
compared with gtkmm 1.2. Development is heavily underway, so this might

cvs instructions here: 
http://cvs.gnome.org/lxr/source/gtkmm-root/base/README

The CHANGES file describes some of the more significant differences
