Sawfish themer is based on GTK+ 1.2 and was never ported to GTK+ 2.0
or higher. If you want to build it (or attempt to build it ^__^) you
probably need to install GTK+ 1.2 and an old version of libglade, on
Debian libglade-xgettext is inside libglade0-dev  1:0.17-9 (version
should be 0.17).

all the warnings that are thrown out are really harmless?. I know
nothing about autoconf, but seems the time to look at documentation
has come...
