Yeah, this is committed. I can't get jhbuild to patch it in for some
reason, so that will have to wait until the next anoncvs update.

Probably. I'm not entirely sure my patch is correct, but it does make it
work.

Neither of these have been filed.

Stalled out, but it was 6am when I wrote that email. gtk+ is obviously a
big blocker, without it nothing graphical is going to get compiled. I
could fix it on mudhead by apt-getting libxft-dev, but that's not an
option for manbo.

Looking ahead at some failures (mainly for my own reference):
- libpixman dies in a very odd way
- gnome-icon-theme, libgnomecups (and a few others) have intltool oddness=
:
config.status: executing intltool commands
./config.status: ./intltool-extract.in: No such file or directory
- mozilla doesn't like my crazy proxy-including CVSROOT
- howl needs to find getopt somewhere
- libxklavier needs libXkl or something?
- poppler can't find cairo correctly
- libgcrypt has linking issues
- libgtop needs to find glibtop
- isocodes needs to know python isn't always in /usr/bin
- libmusixbrainz is c++, ugh
- gnome-backgrounds has a po error.

Oh, and manbo's atom feed is now at
