configure fails to find libguppi

[Eric Hanchrow]

In the CVS sources, gotten with -r gnucash-1-6-1, I ran `configure',
which failed to find libguppi.  I've attached the relevant output
below.

I worked around the problem by re{configuring,building,installing}
Guppi, passing `--prefix=/usr' to its `configure'.

I suspect the problem is really with `gnome-config', but haven't a
clue how to fix that program.

In the meantime, this patch might help:

As promised, here's the relevant stuff in config.log:
