Hmm. Is there a way to make it skip the GTK1 macros when GTK1 is not
installed? Or is there no way around installing GTK1 just so configure
will work? (The Debian FTP masters will not like this if we try to
upload to the main Debian archive...)

Anyway, it seems that I'm seeing two problems, which are related:

1) Running autoconf doesn't expand the GTK1 macros, so the resulting
configure script is broken (that's where the syntax error comes from).

2) Running the CVS version of configure does work, except that it
insists on checking for gtk1 regardless of any settings (also, it
doesn't seem to understand --enable-gtk2?). So it looks like I must
install GTK1 just to make it happy?

Ah, you're right. I was wondering what I should do with them. (Nothing?)
Are they even being used by the program anywhere? If not, I won't bother
with the SConscript for this subdir.


On another note, I've managed to get app/cinepaint to be fully compiled
and linked under SCons. :-) There's still some mess I need to cleanup in
the SCons scripts, though---I hacked in some macro settings (like
VERSION) just to make the thing compile, since I couldn't get configure
to work correctly. I'll be working on getting configure to work properly
next, then I can verify whether SCons is really doing what the makefiles
are currently doing.
