It used to work like this: the regular version of Tango worked
with the GDC 0.23 version. If you wanted to use a newer version
(such as "revision 139" from the "SVN trunk" - i.e. Subversion)
then you applied the Tango patch that was found in "patches/".

OK, then you only need to install Tango according to the manual.
(the patch above probably won't be necessary when the supported
version of GDC is 0.24, probably by next Tango release or so ?)
