  Earlier in my journey autogen.sh had complained about an

 Did you rerun autogen.sh after updating intltool?

I removed the cvs/gimp directory
ran cvs checkout -r HEAD gimp
cd to new gimp subdirectory
ran autogen.sh
ran make
ran make install
(pls note post below)

  BTW I switched from stable cvs to unstable by deleting the
  entire ~/cvs/gimp subdirectory and using the command
  cvs checkout -r HEAD gimp
 
  I used this technique to avoid conflicts between versions.
 
  The initial splash screen for the resulting Gimp says:
  Pixeldumper Developers Release 2.3
 
  but the window displayed when I click helpabout still says
  version 2.2.9

 It seems you installed the old and the new gimp in the same prefix.
 The about dialog should say 2.3.1.

Since I deleted the entire gimp subdirectory I don't see how this
could be.
 Make sure that you read the file HACKING and INSTALL in CVS.

Looking for them now. 

 Bye,
 Simon

poor you :(. i am reading this thread with interest and am thinking of 
having a go myself but i am reluctant to do this incase it overwrites my 
current installation. can i install, or try to install the gimp 2.2.7 in 
a seperate folder/dir which will not interfere or overwrite the current 
working version of gimp i have ?

that jumps into advanced building skills.

did you get your current installed gimp from a distribution?  it should
be easy to remove and reinstall such a gimp.

 Are you running the program as gimp-2.3 ?
 
 gimp is just a symbolic link to the actual binary, and the unstable 
 versions to not replace this link to themselves.
 
this is a good point.

there is a configure option to make it the default gimp.

 gimp is just a symbolic link to the actual binary, and the unstable
 versions to not replace this link to themselves.

That indeed was part of the problem. The rest revolves around
intltool. Gim unstable wouldn't take version 30. So I upgraded to
version 32.1 That gave problems with both cvs downloads.

Now I have upgraded to 33 (which comes with the 2.3.1 gimp
tarball BTW) and now stable will compile and install without
complaint. 

I still have the 2.3.1 tarball version in a separate directory
so in an emergency I can recompile in a hurry over there.

At this moment I have unstable (2.3.2) compiled and installed
and everything seems to be copasetic. The intltool gotcha should
be noted by anyone going this route. And of course I had to
check date and times and relink gimp and gimp-remote to the
latest versions. 

Thanks to Carol, Sven and Joao among others. Come on in folks,
and dive in the pool, the unstable water is fine :)
