Open invitation here for autofoo savy people to step in
- gtk+.xml is generated from gtk+.xml.in by the rule that generates
entries in the po files for translation and is basicly a version
of gtk+.xml.in without the leading underscores on some properties/tags.
- I once added the .in files to some install data set in a meager hope
to one day pass "make distcheck"; which was complaining about missing
.in files.
My [mis]understanding is that "make distcheck" requires us to mark all
kinds of unrelated crap for installation if it's to pass - so to pass
distcheck is to further break the build by adding more useless garbage
to the install proceedure...
Cheers,
