--with-automake would help, but not fully solve the problem.

Note that for glib, gtk, and other stuff, we support parallel install,

new stuff. ;-) We had no illusions that people would de-install
Evolution in order to get GTK 2.

I don't feel strongly about this, I was just bringing it up for
discussion. You make some good points.
