I only put them into svn yesterday, and I haven't even had time to try
building a fresh checkout yet. In general, you can build them from svn
with ./autogen;make all install

You'll need to build gtkmm first, of course. I hope someone makes maemo
.debs for these.

There's a couple of small examples.

There are some properties problems with the hildon widgets that affect
bindings and development apps like glade, but apparently fixes for that
are on their way.

We also need to see whether the 770 has enough memory for a gtkmm
application and/or if we should do some memory-usage reduction on
libsigc++ and gtkmm. But, if the 770 can run mono and python then I guess
the chances are good.
