I leave the decision up to you.

I found the problem: it seems that libgnomedb can optionnaly use
GtkSourceView, and the problem is I don't have it installed, so there is
a @GTKSOURCEVIEW_CFLAGS@ which appears in the command line and gcc
thinks it is a source file or whatever.

Can you add a detection mechanism in configure.in so this flag does not
appear when GtkSourceView is not installed?

Thanks,
