Include your custom libs into the ardour CVS / tarball. Or at least
provide a means to do a single ./configure && make.

Err, perhaps people dont understand which part of GNOME GLAME is using
- GLAME solely uses libgnomeui libgnome and libgnomesupport, it doesnt
depend on using GNOME as desktop.

libgnomeui provides the canvas widget which is very nice, and stuff
for common message/error dialogs. Also automated menu and toolbar
management.
libgnome (or gnomesupport, dont know) provides a way to store application
config stuff, also I think the gnome help functionality is hooked there.
