Comment (by elieux):

 > It also changed public api which is a big no-no, eg the change of the
 DATADIR #define will break some 3rd party plugins.

 Does it break source-level compatibility, or binary compatibility? The
 latter case wouldn't be so bad.

 > I understand that its trying to allow Finch to be compiled for Windows
 too, but it's caused the GTK detection script to be incorrect.

 Can you elaborate?
