sh: gnome-config: not found when building gtk+ 2.6.8 on Solaris 2.8

[Paul Dubuc <pdubuc cas org>]

I'm trying to build gtk+ 2.6.8 on Solaris 2.8 after sucessfully building all the 
other libs it needs (including pango 1.8) and the configure fails after trying 
to execute gnome-config.  I can't find this file anywhere and I can't find where 
the configure script calls it.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.
