People who are unhappy with the rate of Emacs releases (and with pace
of Emacs development in general) should come on board and help the few
core developers in doing the mundane job of preparing Emacs for
release, rather than whine in public about ``anachronistic
look-and-feel''.

Actually, the binary on nqmacs is quite outdated.  Whoever maintains
that should probably release a newer binary ASAP.

How about if you prepare such a gtk2-emacs and put it on
sourceforge.net?  What's the problem with that?  The CVS code is
freely accessible for anon.
