since there was no special check for libfltk > 1.1.4 inc aclocal.m4,
the standard was used, so fltk-config got called just with --ldflags
instead of adding --use-gl --use-images.  so all libraries not
reported by fltk-config caused the link failure (image stuff, but
mostly gl).

no, i used the standard libfltk1.1c102/libfltk1.1-dev packages as
well, which are in normal debian unstable.  it appears to be the same
as fltk-1.1.5rc2.  after noticing the problem i started to compile it
myself in order to find the bug.

just renaming configure.in to configure.ac avoids the problem with the
autoconf wrapper as well, but AC_PREREQ is good style anyway.

all the best,
