Not really... It's mostly just the header files included by the other
projects, ie.. gstreamer needs libxml2 headers. If the platform doesn't
have pkg-config, then we have to find all the cflags ourselves. Ugly,
but it makes Gnash more portable.
More interesting was the config test was broken anyway. :-) I fixed it
the proper way, it works on Ubuntu, I still need to test it on OE. At
least this does add the configure flag for the headers that lets one
specify the path manually.

Ok, I'll leave it out of the release. Time to build new tarballs...
