Two big disappointments:

	1. The GTK 1 version does not build because the Makefiles have
	   been changed.
	   I can't build a package for OpenBSD without this because I
	   have only lablgtk port available.
	   Nobody made lablgtk2 port for OpenBSD, and last time I tried
	   it was so much behind the gtk2 port (libraries) that it would
	   not work.  Since unison works fine with lablgtk I did not see
	   the reason to pursue this further.

	   Can we get GTK 1 back in the Makefiles?

	2. The text version has created huge backup of all my files in
	   .unison/backup although I do not have that preference set
	   anywhere.

	   Since when is this default?
	   How can this be switched off?

This disables a default GUI package on OpenBSD.
It has an unexpected default behavior of backup with no_x11 flavor of
the package (text interface).
