Changes:
Use the supplied path if you need to compile with gtk2.0 or gtk2.2. :-(  Patch supplied by Ian Maltby.

gtkpod V0.80-2
BUGFIX: gtkpod would crash right after startup if the info window was
open when stopping gtkpod the previous time.

BUGFIX: Fixed free space display: the digits were right, the unit was
wrong (B instead of kB, kB instead of MB, MB instead of GB...).

PATCH: gtkpod will compile with GTK V2.0 (V0.80 needed GTK V2.4)

PATCH: gtkpod should compile under Fedora without patch

PATCH: reverted to old-style check of id3tag-lib as id3tag.pc is not
included with the id3tag distribution by default
	
gtkpod V0.80
NEW FEATURE: Added support for WAV audio files

NEW FEATURE: Added support for bookmarkable AAC files (.m4b
files). Thanks to D.L. Sharp. More information is available at
http://www.ipodlounge.com/articles_more.php?id=3233_0_8_0_C
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61695

NEW FEATURE: Added support for syncing contacts and calendar from
existing applications to the iPod (on iTunesDB export and/or via
the Tools-menu). The sync is done by calling external scripts.
Only one script is included so far: kaddressbook_ipod. Please
submit more for inclusion into the next release.

NEW FEATURE: Added support for LAME's replay gain to normalize the
volume track (thanks to Jens Taprogge). Unfortunately the
conversion factor between LAME's replay gain and the iPod's volume
tag are not well known yet -- your input is appreciated!

IMPROVEMENT: Added file selectors for selecting files in the tools
section of the preferences dialog.

IMPROVEMENT: Added new auto-playlists: "One playlist for each
year" and "Playlist with all songs not listed in any playlist".

IMPROVEMENT: Can specify several templates to scan the filename
for tags using the ';' as a separator

IMPROVEMENT: Can specify several templates for the export
filename. gtkpod selects according to the extension given.

IMPROVEMENT: Streamlined layout of info window

IMPROVEMENT: Included Andrew Huntwork's patch to fix issues
concerning case-sensitivity of filenames under some conditions.

IMPROVEMENT: Included Ero Carrera's patch to validate the filename
when copying tracks from the iPod and to make a quick sync of the
iPod's contents.

IMPROVEMENT: When importing the iTunesDB automatically on startup,
no window was opened until the import was finished. Thanks to
Andrew Huntwork the window now opens before the import starts and
progress can be followed in the usual manner.

IMPROVEMENT: Send 'eject' to the iPod after unmounting. This only
works under LINUX and if the user has write access to the device
file (e.g. /dev/sda2)

IMPROVEMENT: When writing to the iPod automatically create iPod's
directories when they are not present.
IMPROVEMENT: Added progress dialog with abort button when copying
tracks from the iPod.

BUGFIX: When dragging tracks between two playlist (i.e. into a
newly created playlist), a new playlist was created but the tracks
were not added.

BUGFIX: Fixed hangup when syncing dirs

BUGFIX: Fixed compile error when compiling without mp4 support

BUGFIX: Fixed compile error when compiling with gcc 2.95

BUGFIX: Tags of tracks on the iPod were never changed (fixed
thanks to Andrew Huntwork)

BUGFIX: Fixed calculation of remaining seconds in progress
dialogs.

BUGFIX: automatic update of preferences data from older version
went awry when no preference file was present
