I think now is a good time to fix the problems with `glib' too.  As a
first step, I would suggest installing glibconfig.h into

	toolincludedir=$exec_prefix/$target_alias/include
	
i.e.

	toolinclude_DATA = glibconfig.h

and let `gtk-config --cflags' also include

	-I $toolincludedir

This is required to properly support people who use $prefix != $exec_prefix,
and use the same $prefix for multiple architectures.

You will find more detailed analyses in my previous mails to the
gtk-list, or I can send you a copy of my mails.
