gtk3 branch compile questions

[Jack <ostroffjh sbcglobal net>]

Good evening, and Happy Thanksgiving to those that partake...

I'm trying to compile the gtk3 version (although Gentoo still has 3.6  
hard masked so I'm still on 3.4).  I do have gtkspell3 installed, but  
pkg-config is calling it gtkspell-3.0 on my system, not gtkspell3,  
which is what ./configure actually checks for.  Is this something  
configure should be able to handle, or do I need to complain that  
Gentoo is using a non-standard module name in pkg-config?

Also - thinking of the recent thread where the poster was unable to get  
balsa to configure with no spell checked at all, setting  
--disable-gtkspell worked fine, with no spell checker related  
complaints.  I wonder if that problem is specific to the gtk2 branch?

I'm actually sending this from the gtk3 version - with no spell-checker  
configured.
