+This is some glue code to make GTK accessible from Guile (1.6.4 or up). It
+provides a convenient interface for Scheme programmers to develop graphical
+user interfaces. This version of guile-gtk is stripped down and intended for
+people who want to use GTK without Gnome.
+
+GtkGLArea is required to build guile-gtk.
+
+guile-gtk version 0.60 was the last to support GTK+-1.2. To install this
+version instead, download the source from here:
+ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guile-gtk/guile-gtk-0.60.tar.gz
+md5sum: 61a2e4d9326b40b65ce6c68bf1feb5db
+
+Installation:
+VERSION=0.60 ./guile-gtk.SlackBuild
+
+Note that installing both version 0.60 and the latest version will result in
+some common files getting clobbered. GtkGLArea should not be necessary for
+version 0.60 (but possibly an older version of GtkGLArea), as it is already
+handicapped with the removal of gdk-pixbuf from Slackware beginning with
+Slackware 12.0.
