[Gtk-sharp-list] Module split

In order to meet a requirement for inclusion into the official GNOME
bindings release, we have decided to split the current gtk-sharp source
distribution into two packages.  Starting with the next stable release,
we will be releasing the glib-sharp, pango-sharp, atk-sharp, gdk-sharp,
gtk-sharp, glade-sharp, and gtk-dotnet assembly source in the gtk-sharp
package.  The remaining parts of the stack will move to a new package,
gnome-sharp.

I want to stress that at the assembly level, nothing is changing.  We
will still be maintaining runtime and source compatibility.  The only
difference will be how we are distributing the sources.  

In anticipation of this change, I have branched the 2.4/2.6/2.8 release
lines to a new branch:

svn+ssh://mono-cvs.ximian.com/source/branches/gtk-sharp-2-468-branch

I have begun the split in the trunk branch.  The trunk branch is
currently broken, but I hope to have it building again by the end of the
day.  I will post an update when trunk is safe to try again.

For those who are interested in trying the bleeding edge, I hope to have
gtk-sharp-2.9.0 and gnome-sharp-2.15.0 releases out early next week, or
over the weekend.

Thanks for your patience during this transition.
