... and the nits are, which patches attached at the end...:

    * The pkg-config probes for GLib and Cairo appear to demand
      unnecessarily-high revisions of both packages; the versions in
      Debian's current stable release seem to work fine (the `mapviewer'
      demo app seems to build and work fine on my laptop).

    * The way that the pkg-config probes are combined & labelled makes
      the output from ./configure confusing (as well as the error
      when the list of prerequisites is unsatisfied, which made me go
      `What do you mean it failed when looking for OPENSTREETMAP_GPS_MAP!?
       Isn't that what I'm building? Oh...').

    * `./configure && make install' doesn't work in a dedicated build-tree
      (outside of the source-tree).

    * The using a funky trick with the linker where you `backdoor'
      in past libtool, which I *think* is unnecessary and may lead
      to problems (or at least confusion) for someone some day.
