Murray or me can add the binding to the website.  One of the reasons for 
delay is that you are the first person to request a link to a 
proprietary language binding.  I talked to a few people about it, some 
who think it is okay and others who would prefer not to promote 
proprietary bindings.  Owen (the gtk+ maintainer) was in the first 
group, so it should be okay to add the link.

It would be good to make sure that LGPL compliance isn't a problem first 
though.

Since you are distributing binaries of gtk+, section 6 of the license 
requires you to either ship the sources with the binaries, provide the 
source for download from the same location as the binaries, provide a 
written offer for the source valid for 3 years.  It is not enough to 
provide sources on request without telling the recipient that they can 
ask for sources.

Since you have made modifications to the library itself, "source" in the 
above paragraph refers to the source you used to build the library.  You 
could either provide a tarball containing the modified sources, or the 
original tarball accompanied by a patch including your changes.
