[Gtk-sharp-list] GtkGLAreaSharp as an optional package

[C.J. Adams-Collier]

Thanks for the info.  I guess I'll work on stabilizing the win32 build
for the rest of the month, and then I'll write an essay on why gtk+
needs an opengl widget...

Whee. :)

Anyone feel one way or the other about gtk+ having an opengl drawing
widget in the core?
