Both `getopt.h' and `argp.h' are/will be part of GLIBC.
`libgnomesupport' is essentially GLIBC-emulation for other systems.
`argp.h' is sort of an exception -- it is in the GLIBC 2.1 snapshots,
not in the 2.0 series.

Yep.  `gnomeConf.sh' should help.  It defines the shell variables
GNOME_LIBDIR and GNOME_INCLUDEDIR that take care of this for you.

It is called $(libdir)/gnomeConf.sh.  It contains the output of
`gtk-config' when `gnome-libs' was configured -- close enough, I think.
