ANNOUNCE: gtkmm 1.3.23

[Murray Cumming <murrayc usa net>]

*** gtkmm2

gtkmm provides a C++ interface to GTK+. This development branch of gtkmm
wraps gtk+ 2.0.x.

We are now seriously pushing for a binary API frozen 2.0 release. There
are no known API issues apart from these, which will be punted to some
future version:

*** Changes

* Lifecycle fix: manage()ed Buttons with mnemonic accelerator labels are
  now destroyed properly when the container is destroyed. (Murray Cumming)

API breakage:
* pangomm: New classes, and some corrections to existing classes.
  (Martin Schulze)
  Excuse: Pangomm isn't used very much.
* Gtk::TreeView::set_column() takes a Widget& instead of a GtkWidget*.
  (Murray Cumming)
  Excuse: If anybody was using it already, they would have told us.
* Gtk::TextBuffer::get_text(): Added overload that takes no iterators.
  (Murray Cumming)
  Excuse: It's API addition.
* Gtk::Style: Wrapped GTK+ vfuncs.
  (Murray Cumming)
  Excuse: It's API addition.

Documentation:
* We now reuse ATK, GDK, and Pango reference documentation:
  e.g: http://www.gtkmm.org/gtkmm2/reference/html/namespacePango.html
  (Martin Schulze)
* README.SUN added (Michael v. Szombathely)
