AM_PATH_GTK is an macro that expands to a bunch of shell script. It's
defined in $(prefix)/share/aclocal/gtk.m4, where $(prefix) is the location
where you installed Gtk.

To allow autogen.sh to find it, do this:

ACLOCAL_FLAGS='-I /wherever/share/aclocal' ./autogen.sh

The space between -I and the path is significant.

The 'aclocal' program will automatically find macros installed in the same
prefix as itself (e.g. if you installed aclocal to /usr,
/usr/share/aclocal is automatically in the macro search path). Thus you
can also create a symlink in this directory pointing to the real gtk.m4.
