[Gtk-sharp-list] GTK# 3.0 Assistance

[Andres G. Aragoneses]

It seems the gir files are built and shipped by gtk+ upstream. So I 
assume they are in the gtk+ tarball.

(I found this by asking in irc.gnome.org/gtk+ , I recommend it to you as 
well for faster communication.)

Thanks for looking into this!
