[*] Many improvements in utils ( dbc, debugger, designer, tutorial ).
[*] GTK version: significantly extended, improved compatibility with winapi version.
[*] Improved compatibility with 2.17 version.
[!] Some bug fixes, as usual

Due to a long pending period of absence of the HwGUI creator, and to avoid the lack of administration of this site, a team of project managers now drives the HwGUI development on SourceForge.
The managers are Kresin, Culik, Freire and la Cecilia. Please refer to this members for administrative tasks.

[+] Native Win32 Toolbar, extended Grid control (HGridEX) has been added.

[*] GTK's HBrowse, HPanel and HOwnButton synchronized with Win32 version.

[!] Three class variables in HBrowse has been renamed for better readability:
kolz --> nRecords
tekzp --> nCurrent
msrec --> aArray
so you need to make search and replace in your programs to rename them.

[*] Many bug fixes and enhancements in both GTK and Win32 versions -
see Changelog for details.

GTK version of HwGUI has been introduced; not all the functionality of a Win32 version is implemented yet, but main subsystems are ready to use.
Some changes in core functions for compatibility with 64-bits compilers and newest [x]Harbour versions.
New classes and functions has been added.

First files for a Linux (GTK based) version has been uploaded.
The Win32 version will not use the GTK, it remains WIn32 API based, as it is now.

The most important changes are:
messages processing goes through OOP engine now;
HPrinter enhancements;
The Designer is able to build reports now.
