Thanks for the pointers.  I've switched to path suffixes for the include
paths (it's not any more readable but it cuts down on the number of lines in
the file). I also fixed a lot of other stuff.

One question for you, however.  Is the module picking up glibconfig.h in the
wrong directory?  If so, what directory, what version of GTK, etc.?  In
other words, is the current hack I have in there about searching all of the
relative directories causing problems for you?  I've been meaning to modify
my header file searching macro to limit the find_path() search to just the
proper relative include directory.  I will probably fix this at some point
in the near future.

Also, this module eagerly awaits wildcard support for find_library().  GTK
also uses blasted version numbers encoded in the filename (like FindBoost).
