Re: gtk-doc version and configure.in breakage

[Dan Mills <thunder ximian com>]

Guys,

The builds are still broken, due to the gtk-doc checks.  At least these
modules are broken:

gconf
libgnome
libgnomeui
libgnomeprint
gnome-panel
vte

And I'm sure there will be more to that list.  Please, right now, do one
of two things, either one will work:

a) Take two minutes to open up your configure in and replace the broken
gtk-doc check with a working one (like the one owen posted, on this
thread).
b) Send me an email authorizing me to do it for you.
