Has anyone attempted a bootstrap install with this new setup?  I ran into
the following problem:

~/gnome/cvs/gnome-libs% ./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/gnome 
(...)
checking for GTK - version >= 1.1.1... no

So, ok, like, does anyone know how to pass "-lgmodule" through autoconf,
or should I grep for the existence of /opt/gnome in my gnome-libs tree?
