Perhaps configure could check for it with PKG_CHECK_MODULES.
I don't think we should introduce a dependency on those packages, as
everything's fine if the accessibility packages aren't installed at all.
But *if* they are installed, they need to be at least a certain version.
Robert Schuster suggested the INSTALL file, which makes sense (duh, why
didn't I think of that...).
So, committing this change as:
2007-04-02 Francis Kung <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* INSTALL: Document known bug in at-spi, atk, and gail packages prior to
version 1.18.0.
Thanks,
Francis
