Perhaps I wasn't clear enough on this -- it's not an actual
problem, everything works even if the test is unchanged.

Actually, that's very easy to fix, see attached diff. It's just
a message :)

Ok, I'm looking forward to it. :)

In the meantime I also made a package libvisual-gforce, which has
only one problem: the check in unix/Headers/trunc.h doesn't work
for me, since NetBSD does not have trunc(), but all of the tests
are in #ifdef HAVE_CONFIG_H, and the configure script does not
generate a config.h, but adds -Ds to the command line instead.

Also, the configure script doesn't even seem to check for trunc().

If the trunc()-arguments are positive, one could use floor() instead,
which is in C89 and thus probably more portable. (trunc() is new
in C99.)

libvisual-nebulus packaged without any problems.

Cheers,
