As the world changes, Sugar cannot stand still. If the platforms we depend
upon drop support for the version tools we are using, then we have to
either take over maintenance of these tools ourselves -- a task we are not
resourced to do -- or, as proposed, update our work so that it remains
compatible. The migration to GTK-3 is critical.
