Make GTK2 the default, but include both versions

As someone reported font problems with WinNT 4, it might be better to 
currently not make it the default. We will have to change the NSIS 
script, so it will detect which win version it is installing "into".

That would be nice to have, so an uninstallation will really remove all 
previously installed files (namely also the files in the plugin dir).
BTW: what's the use of the "versioned" plugin dir anyway?

Both, so "version conflicting" bugs in the gtk code will be found 
earlier. However, it should reflect what the installer should contain.

Unsure about that. Might be better to wait until next release to find 
problems still in it.

As this is currently really experimental, no.


Of course, only my personal opinion.
