Ugh. Yeah, thats a bug. The configure script is attempting to detect
where your gnome install is, and apparently failing spectacularly. If
you could file a bug, and attach your config.log and any other relevant
info, that would be great. (Our bugzilla is http://bugzilla.ximian.com)

VS.NET 2003 projects should be importable via the entry in the File
menu. 2002 projects are potentially importable, and I am pretty sure web
projects of either version fail in a *spectacular* fashion.
