Yup - I wrote an email about this at work, but I doesn't seem to have  
posted here... Wonder where it's got to...

Anyway: Yes, false positives. The current release of AVG throws false  
positives all the time when configure is doing it's magic, it thinks  
all the test stubs are viruses...

Not just for fltk either, but for quite a lot of configure based  
projects...

You need to set AVG to ignore your fltk tree whilst configure is  
running. Once configure has done its thing you can set stuff back to  
normal.
