This is also required, but libgtop's configure should normally abort when
you don't have gnome-libs and you don't give it the --without-gnome parameter.

This might not work as intended if someone has a pre-1.0 gnome-libs installed
somewhere.

I just tried out the libgtop-1.0.2.tar.gz tarball again and it works without
problems for me (installed in /gnome/release/INSTALL).

Normally it's enough if you just say

	./configure --prefix=/gnome/release/INSTALL

You don't need --with-gnu-ld if it's the default on your system and you don't
need --with-gnome and --with-glib-prefix if they're the same than --prefix.
Finally, you don't need --prefix if it's /usr/local since this is the default.
