The accompanying patch allows gtk to be built on an AIX 4.2 (and presumably other AIX versions that use X11R5) machine. AIX divides the XShm functions between libraries XextSam and Xext, so both are needed. This is the first time I have worked with autoconf; if there is a more idiomatic way to achieve the same result then feel free to change it. I have only included the configure.in file on the assumption that you will want to run autoconf on it yourself. Gtk and Gimp are great! Thanks for all the work. Beirne Konarski beirne@neo.lrun.com
