Both of these can be summed up as: minimal requirements.  I'm still
hoping to get Pan working on Windows after 0.12.0, so I've intentionally
trimmed out the extra libraries (gnome-print, libgnomeui) that wouldn't
work on Windows.

The plan is that the Gnome extras will be added back in as an option
after the Windows port is done, but I don't have a timeline for it.

This is the way gtk2 works.  I like it better this way, but it took
a couple of wrong clicks before I got used to it.  IMO it would've
caused less confusion if they'd left the buttons in the old order.  <shrug>
