Makes sense. Thinking about it (and looking into the source a bit), it
seems to be used more than I expected. I added a test for it in the
configure scripts already, but it still wants to pass -I./glob. I'll have
to fix this too...(tomorrow...gotta go to sleep soon).

Don't bother. It's known. We haven't been able to compile a new version
of jade (where nsgmls comes from) for awhile now. I'm working on it,
though, and hope to get it to work Real Soon Now(TM).

I would regularly update it (by regularly, I mean weekly or more if
possible). Paul and I are building packages right and left and trying to
keep up with the i386 maintainers. Also, alot of things are changing with
graphics libs now and they'll require an update of every gtk-based package
soon.
