GNOME stuff

  • Warning: libpng and anything that requires it is broken
  • Everything here will unpack into /opt/gnome. You don't want it in /usr/local, because that will screw up GIMP and any other GTK+ 1.0.* applications.
  • Midnight Commander won't build. The regex library conflicts with the regex library already on the system.
