Hmm, this seems to be why we have different logs. I see that in CVS the checks 
have been changed from CheckHeader to CheckLibWithHeader. Why is this? I 
thought that only headers were checked for exactly this reason.

Anyways, I see what the problem is. Pt_* are symbols from libporttime, but 
libportmidi does not link against it, so this check has no chance of 
succeeding (this may be due to the oldness of portmidi in debian).
