we can now build and run successfully using both GTK1 and GTK2 by
giving appropriate options to make. (Specifically, to override the
default of GTK2 in favour of GTK1, "make GTK_CONFIG=gtk-config".)

custom Columns layout class to see what fiddly details of
GTK2isation were yet to be done. It turns out that all the basic
object management got moved out of GTK into a separate library, so
that all the gtk_object_* calls are deprecated and g_object_* should
be used instead; having done that, though, it all looks perfectly
fine.

account of r7117 having happened since then.

`forall' function has to be prepared for the list of widgets to
change along the way if (for example) the callback function destroys
its input widget.

(list boxes are particularly conspicuously absent), it has no event
handling at all, and it isn't in any way integrated into pterm - you
have to build it specially using the test stubs in gtkdlg.c. But
what there is so far seems to work plausibly well, so it's a start.
Rather than browbeat the existing GTK container/layout widgets into
doing what I wanted, I decided to implement two subclasses of
GtkContainer myself, which implement precisely the layout model
assumed by the config box specification; this has the rather cool
consequence that the box can be resized and will maintain the same
layout at all times that it would have had if initially created at
that size.
