Hi Tor - Sorry for the extra email, but one question: When using gimptool as you describe below, what is the correct approach for handling the configuration-specific files such as config.h, gdkconfig.h, and glibconfig.h which aren't in the normal include paths in the developer packages? Should I copy those files into their correspoding include subdirectories, or is some other approach more appropriate? Thanks again.
