A few problems, and a fix...

[James Michael Mastros <spare jennifer-unix dyn ml org>]

OK, the good news first: attached is a minor little fix to the test-suite in
gnome-libs.  They now don't always fail <G>.  Except for fileconvert -- the
result depends on the name of a temporary file.

Now, the problems (in approxamate order of severity):
1) mico's configure always fails on "checking if binary linked against shlib
   works".  I've looked into this quite a bit:
   a) With gcc 2.8, it fails because libshtest.so has foo() C++-mangled, and
      conftest.C declares it extern "C".
   b) Once you clear that up, it dies with a segfault in _cleanup (as
      repported by gdb).
   c) With egcs-1.0.2 release (as shipped in RH5.1), it dies with undifined
      references (<<, cout, flush).  Adding a "-lg++" to CXXFLAGS clears
      that one up.
   d) After _that_, it dies with a segfault at 0x0 (accordig to gcc)!
   Conclusion: The whole damm thing is broken, and should be libtooled.  But
   probably not by me. <G>.  Sigh.
2) Several of the programs (gmailman, gnome-ppp, gnometalk, gpostit) die
   with a "undefined reference to TIFFDefaultStripSize" in gdk_imlib.
   Linking manualy (with the same libtool commandline as echoed by make)
   _sometimes_ works!
3) gpostit should save the position and state of it's main window -- doing
   so would allow it to be used as a wonderful dock in windowmaker.  I would
   do it myself, but I don't know objc.  Perhaps I'll try anyway.
4) The standard configure.in macros don't find guile, even though it _is_
   there: guile --version claims version 1.2.  I just checked, and
   guile-build is non-existant, and RH5.1's guile RPM dosn't have it -- so
   we probably can't rely on it.  I'll fetch GNU's guile tarball...
5) And finaly: gtop's properties dialog's "OK" and "Apply" buttons never
   un-disable.  There was a ChangeLog entry that looked like it was supposed
   to fix it -- but it looks like it didn't.

	Sigh,
