GTK+ renamed to GTK

The GTK+ toolkit project has, after extensive deliberation, decided toremove the "+" from its name. "Over the years, we had discussionsabout removing the '+' from the project name. The 'plus' was added to 'GTK'once it was moved out of the GIMP sources tree and the project gainedutilities like GLib and the GTK type system, in order to distinguish itfrom the previous, in-tree version. Very few people are aware of thishistory, and it's kind of confusing from the perspective of both newcomersand even expert users; people join the wrong IRC channel, the URLs on wikisare fairly ugly, etc."
