Almost:) I just did the glib-gettext changes this afternoon, it should show
up in the anoncvs overnight.  I may or may not have gotten it right, and I
certainly don't know about the FreeBSD things.
I haven't seen the *DIR errors before (AFAIR).  They should be defined in
the compile command (which is by now 9 lines long:)  In particular, they
stem from lib/Makefile.am where CPPFLAGS is defined.  Maybe your compiler
setup doesn't include CPPFLAGS automatically?
