Alberto++ :)

If GTK+ *runs* on these platforms, then why shouldn't we include the 
support details on gtk.org?

Again, to iterate my point, the end user developing their project would 
rather see supported ports of the toolkit on one website than as 
sub-projects somewhere else, regardless of the % of feature complete 
widgets.

You do make one important point, perhaps we should be detailing the 
level of feature completeness on Windows and MAC?
