OKay, good, I will update the wiki with this.

I am not sure that evas configure was the problem. The problem may  
have been with ecore all along. At the time, I was working in brute- 
force mode. I will re-check this. e17 definitely threw an error about  
software X11 in evas but it wasn't clear if the problem was from evas  
or ecore's default config.
