problem w/wraster.h on install

[Morgan Giddings]

I was installing GNUStep on a Debian  Linux (Fedora) ix86 system... I  
used the CVS version, and checked out the whole gnustep hierarchy.

I used the Startup/InstallGNUstep script to build/install.

Everything was fine until compiling the file core/back/Source/x11/ 
context.c.

There were a bunch of syntax errors that originated at the line:

extern void _wraster_change_filter(int type);

I traced these errors back to:

#include "x11/wraster.h"
This file is the culprit.

I did some research.  It turns out I didn't have a modern libwraster  
installed on my system.  From reading the newsgroups, it was my  
understanding that in this case, GNUstep includes its own wraster.h  
providing the necessary functionality.  However, if I am right in my  
interpretation, there's something wrong with this file.

To remedy, I installed libwraster3-dev (using get-apt install), and  
then started the build/install over again.  This time, it worked  
automagically.

So, I thought I would report this, in case anyone cares (and knows  
how) to do something to fix it.
