Seriously guys -- I wasn't kidding.
How does this work?
I tried 'make check' in all the folders I thought
might be relevant and I got the same error message.

I haven't had very good experiences with make.
I briefly tried joining the gimp-web team last year,
and I found out I had to run a make script after EVERY
edit to the HTML just to see the changes in a browser.
When I pointed out that this completely broke normal
workflow for web work (edit, save, reload in browser,
repeat LOTS), they pretty much told me to get lost.
(I haven't checked, but I think gnome web suffers from
the same design flaw, which might explain why it's
getting no attention from web page writers.)
