[Gtk-sharp-list] how to add a gtk# reference in Visual Studio?

[Grant Birchmeier]

Adding the libraries to the GAC manually (with "gacutil -i") seems to get
VS to recognize that the libs are available.

I've added all the libs I know about, but now VS is complaining about other
libs, such as glibsharpglue-2.dll.  I can add that one too, of course, but
I wonder if I'm getting into a game of whack-a-mole.  How many more are
there gonna be?
