I installed libquicktime-cvs and gtk 2.4 is not mandatory: it is only if
you want to build graphical player version (like glav for mjpegtools).

I completely agree: but, as now, glav does not use any new feature from
gtk 2.4.x, and I don't think that mjpeg developer are trying to hold it
old in order to keep compatibilty with gtk 2.2...

No, but sometimes I'm too lazy...

Very true!! The new installed libquicktime fixs a bug on audio stream
(out of sync).

None so wrong: I think very few systems use gtk < 2.4, and in this case
the user could change manually "configure" script. But do you mean that
someone has to make a glav enhancement? I'll try to find some time :-)

My less powerful system (AMD K6-2 300) has gtk 2.4, because it is the
last installed...
