So we need with-libpcap and without, with gtk1 or gtk2?
So the Mac OS X buildbot could build
- gtk2 without libpcap
- gtk1 with libpap
(I'm not sure if gtk1 without libpcap makes much sense)...

I can set up another buildbot slave on the same machine (which I'll
upgrade to Leopard/Intel soon), but the configure options have to
be set by Gerald...
