Build configure script is getting CFLAGS for glib from gtk-config. gtk-config is hard-wired, but it gets the glib info when built. Having it read glib-conifg would be better even though glib-config is hardwired too. A fix to read from glib-config AND gtk-config would allow for strange configs where glib and gtk were installed by different package methods (source and RPM etc.).

I'll look into this when I have time. I can imagine perhaps expanding TK_CFLAGS to use GLIB_CFLAGS and GTK_CFLAGS, but I'll have to dig into it first to see what'll make sense.

did we turn up anything after digging?

It looks to me like we're picking up the correct set of flags -- GTK_CFLAGS directly, and GLIB_CFLAGS indirectly via LIBIDL_CFLAGS. So..., I _think_ this ought to be no longer an issue. Please feel free to reopen the bug if I'm just an idiot.
