Oh... well...  I am not sure. I only know that autoconf sets it, figured it
might be one of those things that are better left alone. Patching is impossible
though - autoconf sets this thing all by itself and I know nothing about those
autoconf tools.  It does seem that gnomemeeting does not use it at all though.
Grepping through the just autogen.sh-ed source for "HAVE_CONFIG_H" I only see
references to Makefiles that have lines like "DEFS = -DHAVE_CONFIG_H" and
grepping for "^DEFS " only shows those very same lines. I guess it should be
good enough as a workaround for the user to compile with:

make DEFS=

and that should do the trick, or at least it seems so. I cannot think of
anything else since these lines are generated at the autogen.sh stage.

Same thing. autoconf puts it by default in the CFLAGS. Don't know how to easily
remove it, though it shouldn't hurt if it is removed, since it seems
gnomemeeting always includes files with quotes - #include "...."

Of course I may easily be wrong about all that. It would be nice if an autoconf
guru could give an opinion.
