Correction, the current bindings are for 1.0.x.
Most things work with the 1.1 version.

No-one is attempting at the moment, but this is a FAQ.
If you want to start updating them, please do; in principle I'd think
it shouldn't be too hard. The only thing that needs to be taken care
of is that the units be updated in such a manner that they can be
used with all versions.

So for instance

{$ifdef GTK10X}
  { code from 1.0.X version }
  Procedure SomeProc(arg1: type1);
{$else}
  { Code for Default version (1.2.X) }
  Procedure SomeProc(arg1: type1;arg2: type2)
{$endif}

I can send them if you want.
