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.
