Pardon my unfamiliarity with the GNU build tools and building from CVS. 
I DO have glib 1.3.5 installed. It is in /usr/local. I was assuming that 
the script that builds aclocal.m4 would be smart enough to look for 
/usr/local/share/aclocal by default, since /usr/local is a fairly 
standard location to install software. Obviously I assumed wrong. Adding 
the following line to autogen.sh solved my problem.

ACLOCAL_FLAGS='-I /usr/local/share/aclocal'

Thanks for the help, Micheal. :-)
