Actually, anjuta can do both (depending on a configure flag). Right now
it is disabled by default and uses only command line invocation because
of the notorious bug http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=341170

Richard, I think we should really do something about that bug. It's very
annoying and has been there in anjuta right from the beginning. If you
think passing ldflag is evil, at least consider passing 'gecko_home'
variable, set to whatever devhelp uses as GECKO_HOME. I think it's
reasonable considering you are just telling what gecko installation you
used for libdevhelp.

I tried detecting gecko home in anjuta itself but it was too much with
the macro definition and such. Besides it does not guarantee the path
would be same as used by devhelp.

Thanks.
