Great, thanks for the info.

Hmm, I'm using version 0.2.1 of Dino.  I looked in the configure.ac and
saw only libglademm-2.4, libxml++-2.6, jack and lash-1.0 being checked
for.  No gtkmm.  Perhaps its fixed in CVS though.

Good to hear!  Those first 2 features were exactly what I was looking
for next.  Scripting sounds like an added bonus.  Cheers!
