Thanks, this set me out on the right path (although I still can't find
where this exactly is documented.)

Another issue turned up: ERL_MAX_COUNT is no longer defined anywhere
in the erl_interface include files.  I just patched the old #define into
gtk_drv.c and it seems to work fine.  Was this omission an oversight, or
is there a different way to do this that gtk_drv.c should be using
instead?

Thanks again,
