Okay, thank you Gerritt for your careful review of the unison-gtk2
package.

Agreed. I posted the ITP for lablgtk2 earlier today. I've now revised
the build instructions, which are much simpler on the assumption that
the user can just install the lablgtk2 package. Basically it all boils
down now to installing the source package and required dependencies
(including lablgtk2), and then running
make OSCOMP=cygwingnuc UISTYLE=gtk2

Agreed. Thanks for your patch to Makefile.OCaml, which removes the need
to fetch these files separately.

Strange; I wonder why. Can you tell me, what is a command to list all
of the dependencies of an executable? I assume there is one, and I
probably knew it once...
I've corrected and reuploaded my unison-gtk2 package files. Except for
possibly correcting setup.hint to add a dependency on libncurses, I
believe they're now ready for upload:
