How can I use varargs if in fpc svn functions are declared with array of 
cont?

Btw, returning to gtk2 package. Sources of that package are very old - 
they used only gtk 2.0 functions, structures and constants. 2.2, 2.4, 
2.6, 2.8, 2.10 and 2.12 versions were already released. Ofcource I 
understand that most of users still not using gtk 2.12, but at least gtk 
2.4 can be taken as minimal requirement.
