    +Gtk2Hs is a set of Haskell bindings to many of the libraries included
    +in the Gtk+/Gnome platform. Gtk+ is an extensive and mature
    +multi-platform toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces.
    +
    +GUIs written using Gtk2Hs use themes to resemble the native look on
    +Windows. Gtk is the toolkit used by Gnome, one of the two major GUI toolkits
    +on Linux. On Mac OS programs written using Gtk2Hs are run by Apple's
    +X11 server but may also be linked against a native Aqua implementation
    +of Gtk.
    +
    +\Separate
    +Gtk2Hs features:
    +\begin{itemize}
    +\item Automatic memory management (unlike some other C/C++ GUI
    +libraries, Gtk+ provides proper support for garbage-collected languages)
    +\item Unicode support
    +\item High quality vector graphics using Cairo
    +\item Extensive reference documentation
    +\item An implementation of the ``Haskell School of Expression'' graphics
    +API
    +\item Bindings to many other libraries that build on Gtk: gio, GConf,
    +  GtkSourceView 2.0, glade, gstreamer, vte, webkit
    +\end{itemize}
    +
    +\Separate
    +
    +Since the last release, there have been many bugfixes, and Peter Davies and
    +Hamish Mackenzie have begun adding experimental Gtk3 support, enabled by the
    +``gtk3'' cabal flag.
