yeah, it is interesting.  i am having no problem building glib, pango,
atk and gtk+ -- this is from a cvs checkout though.  once everything is
gotten from the versioning system, it is the same tools that are
successfully building the widgets that the desktop software uses.

it could be the way i checked out the sources.  is svn checkout that
unreliable?  perhaps it is the way that autogen.sh was written.  maybe i
just need to relax and spend some time reviewing the whole build
systems.  gimptoolkit (gtk) is easy to build and install, yet the same
tools fail with the desktop which is made of these things.

the differences would be svn vs. cvs and perhaps the way that the auto*
files were authored.

anyways, thanks for your time.  good luck finding a name for your
goodies, btw.  names are complicated to pick and you are stuck with them
for a long while after you make the decison.
