I'm using the source tree from CVS and I've compared the autogen.sh  
to the one you are using and they are identical, so I'm not sure why  
I'm getting errors with it.  When I try to run the resulting  
configure script I get the following errors:

./configure: line 19239: syntax error near unexpected token `GTK,'
./configure: line 19239: `      PKG_CHECK_MODULES( GTK, sigc++-2.0, ,'

So it looks like the autogen.sh is building a bum configure, but I'm  
still no closer to understanding why.  I've done a fink upgrade-all  
and run on a clean checkout from CVS.  I guess the next step is to  
delve into autoconf lore, but that is black magick I never really  
wanted to have to get into, and this is the only program where I feel  
I have no choice.

Any advice or pointers would be welcome.
