From my experience (and my own multiple additions to the ./configure

Creating different sub-configurations for special cases has a pretty
high maintenance cost in the long term, as I've found out. :)
[1] "please install the libXtst development package, or turn off gtk
peers by passing the option --something to the configure script"
It seems a shame that people can't use gtk peers without a non-default
development library.
Perhaps we could have a 'gtk-without-robut' option ...

I tried 'yum update xorg-x11-devel' and 'you install xorg-x11-devel'.
Neither appeared to do anything.
I'm concerned about deployment. It may be ok to require a -devel
package for somebody compiling an gcj/gtk/awt application.
However, it must be possible to install that application on a
box that doesn't have libXtst installed. I assume that is the case?
