building VTE

[Josh Trutwin <josh trutwins homeip net>]

There were some recent posts in the archives about build failures with VTE as it was picking up old versions of software such as pango and glib despite -L directives telling it to look elsewhere.  I had this problem and I was able to get my VTE to build by doing the following, hopefully it'll help someone out:

1. Make sure your garnome bin dir is at the top of your PATH.  I built automake and libtool and a couple other goodies from bootstrap and they should be used for the build process whenever possible.  Run rehash after changing if you use a c-shell.

2. Make sure garnome lib dir is at top of LD_LIBRARY_PATH - not sure if this actually comes into play for VTE.

3. Make sure garnome/lib/pkgconfig is at top of PKG_CONFIG_PATH

4. Modify ALL Makefiles in VTE directory to hard-code paths to red object libs.  You can copy/paste the following in a vi editor to do this:
