Build problems ....

[Jonas Jonsson <Jonas Jonsson alcesys se>]

It's getting harder and harder to compile Gnome on other platforms than Linux ....

hal - is not possible to compile (required by gnome-vfs, thus Gnome)

libtheora - use getopt_long()

gamin - not possible to compile, use setenv() and getopt_long() and scandir() and alphasort() .....

dbus is possible to compile if the config-script is fooled with a 'pci.ids' file.  What should that file actually contain, and where do I find a description of it, and what program creates it???? :-O

Quite a few of these don't live in http://bugzilla.gnome.org, where should problems like these above be addressed??
