I pushed all your changes in.

There's something I don't get : why do you want to download ekiga if you 
already have it on disk?

Perhaps it's something you don't know about autotools : they allow 
out-of-tree builds. You have your sources in $WHATEVER_DIR, but want to 
build in $THIS_DIR :
$ mkdir -p $THIS_DIR
$ cd $THIS_DIR
$ $WHATEVER_DIR/configure $CONFFLAGS
$ make

This will build the usual program ; if in another console you do :
$ ~/bin/setup_for_cross_compile
$ mkdir -p $(THIS_DIR)_cross
$ cd $(THIS_DIR)_cross
$ $WHATEVER_DIR/configure $CROSS_CONFFLAGS
$ make

Then the same sources will be built with very different options in 
different directories.

Hope this helps,
