[ardour-dev] the development process

switching all uses of CList and CTree to use the new TreeView widget
is also a very significant task. there are about 17 such instances in
gtk_ardour right now. I predict that the first one of these will take
at least a day to get right, and then it will speed up to maybe 3 per
day. 

most other GTK1->GTK2 issues are almost 90% automatable, followed by a
functionality test phase and tweaking things to work with the minor
changes that GTK2 brings to various semantics.
