more exactly it depends on configure.in/Makefile.am etc. present or not.

Here my autotools knowledge ends. It's annoying, but I can't do anything 
 about it. (different autotools version further add to the confusion)

autogen.sh, Makefile.am and configure.in of a glademm project are gtkmm 
version dependant. And since it is reasonable to edit them, glade-- does 
not touch them if they are present. So to convert between gtkmm major 
versions please merge the file wit the corresponding _new variant to fit 
your needs.

Or move them out of way and merge the other way around.
