this is a completely orthogonal problem - my setup has 2 trees: /gnome
and /gnome2, and they don't intermingle at all, so i am not referring to
this problem.

the problem i am talking about is when porting old apps which include
<libgnome/libgnome.h>, they fail because libgnome installs
$prefix/include/gnome/2/libgnome.h, rather than
$prefix/include/gnome/2/libgnome/libgnome.h.
