Close.  The package name was libglib2.0-dev, and the next package was
missing was intltool, then some m4 packages that live in the package
gnome-common was missing.

Then autogen.sh stopped on a problem with the wireless-tools package:
 configure: error: wireless-tools >=28pre9 not installed or not functional.

So I googled and found this message:
 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=389559

I ran 
 sudo apt-get build-dep network-manager

Which pulled in quite a bit more stuff.

Much better than picking the packages manually.

The autogen.sh invocation still fails, with the following message:
checking for LIBNL... configure: error: Package requirements (libnl-1 >= 1.0-pre8) were not met:

Requested 'libnl-1 >= 1.0-pre8' but version of libnl is 1.0-pre6

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBNL_CFLAGS
and LIBNL_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Not sure what to do about that.
