Hmm,

I have much trouble with new configure too. With this one, I can not find many
headers and libs without options though I didn't have any problem finding
them before. Of course those files are in a standard directory(?). Anyway,
what's the standard directory?

	/usr/include, /usr/X11R6/include, /usr/local/include?

And there is a typo in configure*.

I don't know why wandering for required files is not good. It's more convenient
and more simple(not for programmers but for USERS). I think we'd better focus on
users' convenience. Am I wrong?
