Well, FWIW, as of 0.26 it builds _mostly_ correctly, except that the new
CORBA bits (which are potentially used by just about every part of
GNOME) are rather flaky.  I've been tracking this with thought toward
submitting a package, but figure it needs the Orbit (the GNOME Corba
ORB) libraries to advance at least a minor version or two.
