Yeah, the only place this is in the source tree is ./configure.in [[[
    # Look for libgnomeui by pkg-config
    PKG_CHECK_MODULES(GNOME, libgnomeui-2.0 >= 2.2
			       gtk+-2.0 >= 2.2)
]]].

This has come up a couple/few times; specifically:

- what distros are we targeting?
- what's then the min(library_version) provided for our deps?

We should probably collect all that info into a file for reference. 
Since deps have, and will continue to be (given our desire to lag the
major distros by ~6 months), an important gnucash issue we should
probably have a README.dependencies or something.  The current
dependency list in README is from 2001.
