The problem was that I didn't have libgdk-pixbuf, and `./configure'
incorrectly reported that problem by saying that it couldn't find
gtkhtml.  So:

* there is a bug in configure -- when libgdk-pixbuf is missing, it
  should say so, but instead it says it cannot find gtkhtml

And:

* The README should mention that libgdk-pixbuf is required to build
  GnuCash.
