Sorry.  I had an explanation originally, but my machine flaked out
before I could send.  

Makefile.am:
Originally the svr4-package target called "install-strip", but when it
tried to strip installed scripts (e.g. idl2eth) it would fail.  I
didn't see an easy way to get install-strip to ignore scripts or at
least fail gracefully so I used the "install" target instead and ran
strip separately.

mkpkg:
Solaris find doesn't recognize the -mindepth flag so I changed the
command to something more or less equivalent.

checkinstall.in:
The original checkinstall assumed /usr/local as the GTK+ install
install directory even if an alternate directory directory was
specified when configure was run.  checkinstall now checks for GTK+ in
the configured directory and punts (checks if gtk-config is in the
path) if it doesn't find GTK+ in the configured location.

Oh well.
