OK, I understand looking for ranlib, but why drop the libtool stuff?
(not that I can immediately think what it is used for).

We need the check for GTK. Reason for deletion? This puts the
GTK libraries directly on the link line which is necessary for
some things, as well as providing their headers on the include
line

This looks for pango, and includes its CFLAGS which is needed
for rendering. Surely FreeBSD supports Pango?

Where are CPPFLAGS_APPEND defined? Should the last one be
CXX_FLAGS_APPEND?

Where is that used?

Those are mostly harmless - it just means the macros were written before
automake got so fussy about quoting.

Luke should have just fixed that.

Those would seem to indicate that somehow autoreconf isn't picking up
the gettext macros. This is clearly a problem. Note at this stage it
is a warning.

Don't know what this is used for in practice.

Here's the same problem as above. I had thought that you were allowed
undefined macros (they just didn't expand and gave a warning) provided
code didn't actually pass through them. Looks like I am wrong.

You write:
> gettext.m4 is available here:
>   /usr/local/share/aclocal/gettext.m4

At a guess, does that define AM_GETTEXT rather than AM_GNU_GETTEXT?

But I still don't understand the necessity to delete all the pango
stuff. How can font rendering work without it?
