Please commit the s/gapi2/gapi3 patch.  Also, if you don't mind, please
rename the bootstrap to something like bootstrap-2.90 or you can
resurrect bootstrap-for-the-insane, and also add a big bold text message
to the end of it that this bootstrap is unsupported, unstable, with no
scheduled release date and unless people are completely insane, they
should be using the 2-12 branch instead.  ;-)

No, please don't commit any patches to bindings to make them depend on
gtk-sharp trunk yet.  gtk-sharp-2-12-branch is the supported branch.  If
you want to track svn versions, that's the branch to track.
