Hmm, how did you make that tarball? I don't think it is a proper
distribution.
Off the top of my head, here is the procedure for making a release:
- Fix bugs until "make distcheck" survives.
- Go thru the ChangeLog and bring the NEWS file uptodate. For
example, there should be short descriptions of the new "rect" type,
of "define-structure" and of the multiple-return-value stuff. Just
ask the original author for the NEWS entries.
- Bump version number in configure.in and README
- Commit changes to CVS
- Tag the sources with "guile_gtk_0_17_release" by running
% cd .../guile-gtk/
% cvs tag -r guile_gtk_0_17_release
- Run "make dist"
Additions, anyone?

The announcement for 0.17 should include the relevant NEWS section
because there will be interesting things in it.
