Well, it puts a big message about it when building gtk-engines, and the
problem is that you only have libintl.a and no .so library, and libtool
cannot make .so library linking in .a library. And yes, this only happens
for pixmap theme, the others don't need libintl.
There are posibly two ways to hanle this.
1. Make libintl a .so library. This is what I did. Well it needs some work
with the Makefile of gettext.
2. Get a new libtool which probably is capable of making .so library
including an .a library. Mine, that DON'T do it is libtool-1.2.
