As I told mathieu on irc, the new gnome.m4 that will be available
with gnome-libs 2 (and if you use hack-macros instead of macros)
solves this by allowing you to include gnome-config modules in
the AM_PATH_GNOME macro call.

if you do
    AM_PATH_GNOME(1.0.0,, AC_MSG_ERROR(no gnome 1.0.0 found), idl)

it fills IDL_CFLAGS with the output of `gnome-config --cflags idl`

if you then do 

AC_SUBST(IDL_CFLAGS)

you can use $(IDL_CFLAGS) in your call to orbit-idl, and it will
include -I flags for all the share/idl subdirs in your $GNOME_PATH
variable.

Maybe the part of the AM_PATH_GNOME macro that does this should
be backported to GNOME_INIT_HOOK, but since that'll be deprecated
soon anyway, maybe we shouldn't bother.
