Re: First Compilation

Mike,

I have added pkg-config configuration support to configure.in for
freetype2 and libpng.  We still need something for boost though.  Would
you have a look and let me know what you think (at configure.in
libstk/Makefile.am and test/Makefile.am).  Is pkg-config the right
choice, or should we use each libraries' config program
(freetype2-config, libpng-config, etc..).

Thanks,

Darren
