You too are the ex and present maintainer of libgnome, so you will have to
figure out the solution, preferably one that gives a usable library that
actually builds, as opposed to the mess that is in the cvs. 

It's good to hear though that we are suddenly in the state where people
objecting to changes to the platform actually has a weight. Hopefully it's
not just purely a function of who they are.
