Yep - this is what I am angry about. I am trying to build python-gtk WITHOUT
gtkglarea support for one package and with it for another one. Problem: There
is not way to disable the gtkglarea support if gtkglarea is installed.
Can I file bug reports against packages which install a script to
/usr/share/aclocal not having the ability to switch it off (with something
like --without-gtk)? I know this will not fix our current situation because we
have to rerun automake to get a new configure script, but as time goes by
things will improve.
Comments?
