CVS compilation tool

[Randy Chung]

What I did in my Makefile to avoid having to compile the whole thing as 
root is split the modules into two sets.  The first set has four 
packages, the three libs + mcs-manager, and the second set is everything 
else (with xfce4-panel coming first, as you have).  This way you can 
just build the first four as root, the rest as joe user.  It isn't too 
hard to implement, just a lot of copy and pasting the original :)

It doesn't seem like too big of a deal, but I thought I'd just point 
that out.

On another note, the PKG_CONFIG_PATH looks kind of broken to me.  If I 
have 4.0.6 installed in /usr/local/, then the pc's from 4.0.6 are going 
to be found first and the configure script will scream and yell at you 
for not having the right version.  What should work is if 
PKG_CONFIG_PATH is instead set so that the pc's of the CVS version are 
put in before the other paths, i.e. instead of:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:(target dir)

try:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=(target dir):$PKG_CONFIG_PATH

This way the new CVS pc's get found first, and life is happy.
