GTK2+ quick start

This is the GTK2+ spin button example included in AVC distribution. It comes into two versions. The first has the GUI generated from a Glade UI description. The second has the GUI generated directly by program instructions. For full details see the "GTK2+ examples" chapter of the user manual.
