FreeBSD trials and tribulations...

["Josh Emmons (skia)" <j-emmons sjca edu>]

Well, I've compleated compiling the bleeding edge gnome on FreeBSD and boy
are my arms tired!

Most of the early libs and such were cake to install -- but about the time
I get to gnome-libs and gnome-core everything started to break down.

orbit-config wasn't defined in any of the makefiles that it should have
been, a bunch of liborbit and libgnorba directories needed to be filled in
by hand.  The same with libzvt. 

Now that I've got it all straightened out, I wanted to ask why these
things weren't foudn and set up by configure.  I had installed all the
past packages with the prefix /opt/gnome or /opt/gtk, would that make it
hard for configure to do it's job?  Are there command line options that I
could have passed to configure to help it out?

I'd like to wrap up this release into the FreeBSD ports collection, so any
help you can give would be appreciated!
