     Well, unfortunately, if you don't have pkg.m4 when you run
     autoconf, the above calls make it literally into the generated
     configure script, and Bash will then reject them even with
     --without-gui. 

I didn't think it would.  Since bash is interpreted, if the test
x"$with_gui" != x"no" fails, then the PKG_CHECK_MODULES lines never
make it to the interpreter ??
