I can't promise that I'm giving you *all* areas, but the basic places to
look are configure.ac (where various libraries are detected), and the
various Makefile.am files (particularly gtk/Makefile.am, if that's where
you're modifying code).  Read up on autoconf/automake, and dive in.
You'll need to re-generate the build system (I believe there's an
autogen.sh script in the tarball or SVN to do this) after making your
changes.
