we've been developing Glib/Gtk2 against stock perl 5.8.0.  this has nothing to
do with the xsubpp patch i posted, which changes the error report format and
keeps the directory path on the filename for correct #line directive output.

this is the first time i've ever heard about GValue.xs not compiling, and that
file has had maybe one or two changes since early april, so either xsubpp
doesn't require it or is very lax about it.  i'm rather suprised, actually.


GValue.xs has no MODULE line because there are no functions in it that need to
be accessed from perl.  it's an XS file because originally i thought there
might need to be perl-visible functions, and someday there might... but until
then i wanted to leave out the unused BOOT section.

so, ah, yeah, it ought to compile if you just add a bogus MODULE line.  that
module doesn't get booted anyway so it shouldn't break anything.

i'll fix that in CVS, but we're about a week and a half from the next actual
release.
