Yes, but you need that for gtk3 anyway, but the point is that the plugin
doesn't need gtk2.24, if should work with older gtk2 versions.

Putting words in someone's mouth, I guess it was to look forward to gtk3
not backward to gtk2, but you are right, a plugin that decides to support
gtk3 will no longer supports Geany < 1.24 unless it includes a local copy
of gtkcompat.h, and well, thats messy, error prone and nasty.
