I'm not sure I want to support gcc-2.95. IMO it should just go away,
after all this is the 21st century. And I want to be able to declare
variables anywhere in the code, not just at the start of blocks.
Still, I think I'll accept patches, for the sake of compatibility
with platforms that don't have gcc-3.x yet.

Yes, that's a well-known problem. I'll have to go over all used
headers/libs and add them to the configure.in file.
I have gnome-*-dev installed and therefore I didn't see the problem
before.
