awf: a widget factory, theme viewer for gtk2 and gtk3

Hi all,

I've started to play with gtk themes and I was trying to have a consistent theme between gtk2 & gtk3.
I currently own blue themes: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=50952 and https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=47730 but they are incomplete and sometimes incorrect.

To be able to rework them I needed a theme viewer that share the same code between gtk2 and gtk3. I've found some upgrades of 'The widget factory' but I've not been able to find complete/correct tools so I decided to rewrite 'the widget factory'. I've named it 'A widget factory' simply because it really looks like 'The widget factory'.

Improvements compared to 'The widget factory':
- same code for both gtk2 and gtk3 (except for the obvious different widgets i.e. 'option menu' in gtk2 only and 'gtk switch' in gtk3 only)
- allow to choose system theme or user theme
- allow to refresh the current theme
- allow to start the equivalent theme viewer in the other gtk version
- some widgets have been added.

Here is the pkgbuild: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=54550

Any problems, please report.
Enjoy!

Thanks so much! I'm in the process of learning to theme GTK so this is very helpful. Exactly what I was looking for.
