Yes, this makes sufficent amounts of sense.

Can the patch go in - naturally on the condition of being replaced by a
re-worked patch that switches to the newer behaviour as soon as needed -
until such time as gtk+ developers come to a conclusion in which they way

After all, tarballs with the pre-generated items in them will only appear
at the next release while the cvs can be built at all times.
