Yes.  Trying to get a complete autoreconf was too difficult, as
configure.in would have to be entirely rewritten.  Instead I left the
autotools as-is, manually added the -no-undefined flag, and patched in a
new version of libtool after running configure.

I'll try to ITP glib-1.2 and gtk+-1.2 sometime this week.

I don't know WHY some programs use the private symbols, but apparently
there are some that do.  Hansom Young (CyGnome projects) mentioned
gnome-commander and d4x.  There could very well be others as well.

I personally have seen this with wxGTK2, but I backported some CVS
patches and now it builds; I'll have to test both wxGTK and wxGTK2 with
these changes to see if I didn't break anything; I'll keep you posted.
