yes, ./autogen.sh needs rerun (Re: still having troubles (Re: Ping K.Haley: latest testing branch updates, I get compiler error in post-ui.cc line 742: ‘_c lose’ not declared.))

Good grief,
I saw the patch to configure.in
and forgot to run ./autogen.sh
which is definitely needed to fully bring-in your fix.
(I coulda sworn the make system did that for me, but oh well…)
::blush::

I am now running your code almost 100% 
with the patch I mentioned on Aug.27/28 archived at these places:
<news:[email protected]>
<http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/pan-devel/2010-08/msg00000.html>
<http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.apps.pan.devel/1143>

And a tiny lil hand-tweak on config.h to let PLATFORM_INFO
mention the gcc build (should be in my headers on this post).
