Sorry about all this, I whanged some makefile rules to build a seperat gui rpm,
I must have messed things up. I forgot to commit the GUI Makefil :). I commit
it right now. I also forgot to commit typos in netconfig. This seems strange,
because I don't usualy forget to commit things... Maybe the cvs werdeness of
theses days on savannah messed some stuff...

Ok, now everything is commited, here is the procedure to be able to test
without installing :

go into perl-Libconf and run 'make check'.

This will print a lot of stuff. I didn't finish the script to say if there was
actually errors while running make check. Don't pay attention to this line :

* testing XF86Config : TEST N°1 FAILED

because XF86Config has to be modified to the new template syntax.

When you have run make check, it has done the needed links in the perl-Libconf
tree. you can then go into application/netconfig, and run test.pl (it's a one
liner that tells perl to use the libs in perl-Libconf rather than
/usr/lib/...).

test.pl launchs netconfig, but you can do the same for smbconfig.

Hope it'll work.
