FWIW this means Wireshark master (to become 2.2) will no longer work on
RHEL/CentOS 6 (which has autoconf 2.63).  I don't seem to have an easy way
to check SLES.

If 2.2 is really going to drop support for Gtk+ then it's a moot point
(since the Qt interface won't compile on RHEL 6 either) but I wanted to
point this out just in case.  (There are a lot of RHEL/CentOS 6 users out
there and that will likely continue to be the case for a while.)

(I'm no longer in a position to be too worried about losing support for
RHEL 6 but others may feel differently.)
