Well that's another story.  libdv requires autoconf 2.50.  Even the latest
YellowDog Linux 2.2 for PPC only has autoconf 2.13 (I'm actually running
YDL 2.1 with autoconf 2.13).  I tried to use a RawHide
autoconf-2.52-7.noarch.rpm but get the following failed dependencies
when trying to install the RPM:

% rpm -U --test autoconf-2.52-7.noarch.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
        perl(IO::File)   is needed by autoconf-2.52-7
        perl(POSIX)   is needed by autoconf-2.52-7
        perl(strict)   is needed by autoconf-2.52-7
        perl(vars)   is needed by autoconf-2.52-7

Checking into this quickly descended into dependency hell and a need
for a rather major upgrade of my system which I'm not currently prepared
for (the primary sticking point is the need to upgrade from db3 3.1 to
db3 3.2 and all the resultant changes required for that).

For now, I've been grafting the 0.9 build environment onto the current
CVS in order to build it, so that's why it doesn't have gtk support.
