Good idea, but in my opinion it's a waste of time to solve the non-GNU
make problem in the GTK+ project. It should be solved in the automake
package, but I doubt it really will. There are some features in automake
that some vendor supplied make utilities don't have, like the VPATH
feature (do the makefiles in GLIB/GTK support this?). In the mean time, we
can just tell people to use GNU make.
