Oh, btw, I know that it's possible to check the installed Gtk version
via Gtk.check_version? but I've not been able to find options for
libart, libgnomecanvas, and ruby-gnome2 (I need to check that the
ruby-gnome2 libraries for the Art and Canvas have been compiled
against the recent libraries and not the old ones).
