Sorry, I'm a bit out-of-date.  I've now checked out your CVS, so I'll
now give you diffs against that.

A comment about gtkdocize:
if grep '^GTK_DOC_CHECK' $configure >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  :
else
  echo "$progname: GTK_DOC_CHECK not called in $configure" 1>&2
  exit 1
fi

The top line should, ideally, be

if (autoconf --trace=GTK_DOC_CHECK | grep "${configure}:[0-9][0-9]*:GTK_DOC_CHECK:") > /dev/null 2>&1; then

This uses autoconf tracing which would allow GTK_DOC_CHECK to be used
in custom macros separate from configure.ac, which a simple grep of
configure.ac will not pick up.

;-)  I didn't know if there was an active moderator!
