how to build gnucash against recent libgtkhtml?

See bug http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84707.

The most recent stable version of gtkhtml is 3.0.10.  Attempting to
build against that fails totally; the configure script attemps to find 
gtkhtml-1.1 using pkg-config, and the recent version in named
"libgtkhtml-3.0" in pkg-config.

(And it also attempts find it by trying a link against -lgtkhtml-1.1,
which of course fails.)

According to the README for gnucash 1.8.9:

   gtkhtml: version 0.8 and later should work. You can obtain the latest
    version of gtkhtml from Helix Code.  Note that this has changed
    since 1.4, which used the older gtkxmhtml library.  Sources can be
    found at ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/unstable/sources/gtkhtml/.


I am quite sure that 3.0.10 is "version 0.8 or later".

My apologies if this is very well travelled ground; I'm trying to get
up to speed.
