Well, there are a few problems with this. First of all, it's not 
a library, so you'd have to create your own using the C source. 
Secondly, it's not likely to be maintained, since it's for GTK 1x, 
and GTK 2x has the same functionality built into its listview controls.

There are a number of reasons to prefer GTK 2 over the previous 
version, and only a couple of drawbacks. 

I'll work up a spreadsheet-like demo using GTK 2, and post it 
shortly.
