Rather than messing with system directories, it should be enough to
copy extutil.h to ~/garnome/include/X11/extensions.  That's where
earlier versions of garnome put it.  The garnome build looks in
~/garnome/include for header files in addition to the standard system
include directories.

(This also explains why not everyone has seen this problem.  If you
upgrade a previous garnome release the extutil.h file was
installed under ~/garnome/include.  I move my old ~/garnome to
~/garnome-old before building a new release and it occasionally
exposes problems like this.)
