I'm sorry - I've changed what I could :)

I'm not sure if it should be hidden. I think that it's no harm to see it and I
hope there will be lot's of CONTRIB GcObjects to be seen there (it may be
renamed to "other objects")

I've already started to prepare a setup.py script (If you don't know what it is
- take a look at the distutils docs). It's very easy to create and makes a
wizard for windows (when run on windows) and a easy enough installer for
linux/unix systems. I didn't make any changes in it to reflect the new directory
structure - so it's not working now - but that's the way it should be done (I
think we shouldn't care for rpm's and deb's so far).
