some hints and remarks for building gimp-2.3.1+ from cvs

ftruncate is not present in my version of mingw, so I changed it to make it compile.

Maybe this should be autodetected by configure as
HAVE_WIN32_FTRUNCATE
or maybe glib should provide g_ftruncate to wrap the platform-specific implementation...



The native windows version of Python has it's headers in C:\Python24\include
and not in C:\Python24\include\python24, so I changed the pythondev m4 macro as follows:

the WMF plugin uses freetype2, but freetype2 likes to have "ft2build.h" included...

the autodetection of python on MSYS is not too good:
the "\"es need to be replaced with "/"es, so I added this to
C:\Python24\lib\site-packages\site-customize.py

import sys
import os
import re
if os.environ.get("MSYSTEM") == "MINGW32":
       os.sep='/'
       os.pathsep='/'
       sys.prefix = re.sub('\\\\',os.sep,sys.prefix)
       sys.exec_prefix = re.sub('\\\\',os.sep,sys.exec_prefix)

which is still not perfect: I modified python.m4 to replace "\"es by "/"es:

[am_cv_python_pythondir=`$PYTHON -c "from distutils import sysconfig; print sysconfig.get_python_lib(0,0,prefix='$PYTHON_PREFIX').replace('\\','/')" 2>/dev/
null ||

(I think python should know about msyspath too in addition to ntpath)
