Oooh yeah, I forgot I kludged the configure to avoid pkg-config.  My bug
reporting skills need some work. :)

pkg-config --cflags gtk+ works.. IIRC, the configure script was
complaining about not being able to find gtk.pc, but the file is
actually gtk+.pc (my PKG_CONFIG_PATH was set correctly..)

Seems to work for every other project out there... I'm sure you have
your reasons though.  Particularly with ardour, I'd be avoiding as many
annoying problems like that as I could too.
