Sorry, but I would object merely on the principle that if I don't use
GTK or X, why should there be X windows dependencies scattered about?
It seems like zinf is edging closer and closer to be an exclusive
Xwindows app.  The thing I have liked about zinf before is the
flexibility of not having to do X if one doesn't want to.  Let's try
and keep it that way.  

Now if your trick with the autoconf can keep this new dependency from
popping up that would do for an interrim solution.  At this point, I
don't recall if I installed glib or not.  I've been installing a few
graphical libraries recently in ordder to get cups working so perhaps
zinf can grab onto those coat sleeves for the ride <sigh>.
