	Looks like an interesting, and useful app :-) especially if you play
the guitar as badly as me.

> where should make install install .oaf files to?

	$(datadir)/oaf

eg.

oafdir = $(datadir)/oaf
oaf_DATA = $(OAF_FILES:.oaf.in=.oaf) Bonobo_Moniker_std.oaf

	Yes, you can register it with me ( or George Lebl ) you want to have
GNOME/Chord ? do use that.

	I would use gnome-config to check for bonobo - but _really_ I would
recommend that you target the Gnome 2.0 platform instead, since it's far
more exciting and fast moving than Gnome 1.4, and many of the issues
you're about to come up against are fixed there ;-)

	eg.

EXTRA_GNOME_LIBS=`gnome-config --libs bonobox`
EXTRA_GNOME_CFLAGS=`gnome-config --cflags bonobox`
AC_SUBST(EXTRA_GNOME_LIBS)
AC_SUBST(EXTRA_GNOME_CFLAGS)

	And for a check some mess like:

	AC_MSG_CHECKING(for Bonobo >= 0.32)

	if gnome-config --libs bonobox > /dev/null 2>&1; then
		vers=`gnome-config --modversion bonobo | sed -e "s/bonobo-//" | \
			awk 'BEGIN { FS = "."; } { printf "%d", $1 * 1000 + $2;}'`
		if test "$vers" -ge 32; then
			bonobo_ok=true
		else
			bonobo_ok=false
		fi
	else
		bonobo_ok=false
	fi
	

	You really want to use PKG_CONFIG in Gnome 2.0 though, it's massively
superior.

	HTH,

		Michael.
