This seems to work for me (watch line wrapping):

 # XXX - gtk_config_*_version leaks from AM_PATH_GTK.


A "release" should have configure already created from configure.in, and
should run on any system without m4 and the auto* tools.  The system on
which configure is created needs to have the AM_PATH_GTK_2_0 macro
installed.  The "ifdef" I added is just a convenience for people
building from cvs without gtk 2 installed.
