ANNOUNCE: PonG 1.0.0 the "Ping" release



LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EKINOOOOOOOOOG

Well, it had to happen one of these days.  PonG 1.0.0 has been unleashed unto
the world.  What is PonG?  Solution to all the world's ills, bringer of world
peace, cure for cancer and also a library and a GUI tool for making GConf
preference dialogs.  So how does it work?  You run a GUI editor, tell it what
keys you are using, what widgets you use for those keys, and save a file, add
a bit of automake/autoconf foo, a few lines of code, and presto you have a
fully functioning preference dialog and generated GConf schemas.  A couple of
minutes work really, so if you've hated writing preference dialogs, then PonG
is the answer to your woes.  PonG also handles many complex cases such as
user levels, and is extensible with glade and bonobo.
