Yeah, we've been kinda bad about updating version numbers in trunk for
packages that haven't changed much.  libxfce4mcs probably just hasn't
changed, though it should be bumped to 4.3.0.  Fixed.

As others have said, it's a part of the panel now.

Sounds like it's missing from EXTRA_DIST.  Fixed.

No idea.  Are you using GNU make or BSD make?  IIRC we only really
support GNU make, but Benny's the build system expert around here.

The libxfce* documentation is just API docs; not really useful for
normal users.  You can pass --enable-gtk-doc to configure, though I'm
not sure if that actually installs the files.
