This allows to do make these steps more complicated, e.g. avoid using apt-get under non-Linux (and even non-Debian/Ubuntu) platforms. Also install GTK+ development package explicitly, while it's already available on the older Travis Ubuntu 12.04 VMs, this is not the case for the newer 14.04 ones.

It is free for the use in both open source and commercial applications, comes with the full, easy to read and modify, source and extensive documentation and a collection of more than a hundred examples.
