to report bugs you should use bugzilla:

  http://bugzilla.openedhand.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Clutter

no, it's not. the default backend is the GLX one.

autogen.sh will pass the command line arguments to the configure script
afterwards, so:

  ./autogen.sh --with-flavour=osx

will run ./configure with the checks to build the native OSX backend.

it should not be needed *unless* you need a separate location to
install/find header files.

yes. we use Bugzilla to track requests for enhancement, bugs and new
features.

Clutter already builds with jhbuild[0] and MacPorts. if you want to
start a fink package you're very welcome to do so.
