Passing no arguments causes an error telling me to supply --with-x-toolkit,
since I didn't have X11 libraries installed. Installing those libraries
makes the configure run normally so I can omit --with-x-toolkit.

I want to build with pgtk but passing --with-pgtk causes the same gtk/glib
error as before.
