Yeah, sorry about that, but once the configure.in matures a little
more, at least the sensitivity to *where* you install these things
should go away...

Ted, Jeremy, and (frowning because I can't recall his name even though
he sent me email last night), are working on it. I don't know what
their status is.

This project isn't really a good way to learn GTK for a several
reasons (IMO, YMMV, etc.):
1) It's still in quite a bit of flux (especially the GTK bits).
2) We use GNOME which is yet more complexity on top of just learning
GTK.
3) We don't have good internal docs yet so many things will be
mysterious.
4) This project is pretty complex for someone just trying to learn C
and GTK.
