Hello,

I am replying to let you know that I succeeded in building gwaei. It
took a fair bit of effort to get it going, because apparently the
configure script that comes with gWaei doesn't properly pick up on
64-bit libraries (or Fedora's or the maintainer's gtk+-3 pkgconfig
wasn't sane, or *something*). But in the end, it is now working nicely
with a Gnome 3-like interface on my computer.

Not only that, but the version of gWaei that was included in Fedora 15
was apparently *really* old (which might explain why it was broken).

Some details on how to get it to compile are here:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3427591&group_id=244762&atid=1126810#

If there is no package maintainer, I'm willing to try and be one, since
I'm a bit of a fan of the software. (Though I'll have to study up on
package maintaining.)

Yours,
- Vincent Beers
