The autoconf check for the Gtk::Window::set_default_icon_name() method
was failing to detect its availability, but only on Ubuntu >= 11.10.
Turns out that the autoconf check incorrectly defined the link libraries
via the C++ flags variable CXXFLAGS, rather than the LIBS variable.
This resulted in the libraries being specified in the wrong order on the
command line. The test only failed when Ubuntu also added the
"--as-needed" flag to the linker by default [1] which required the
libraries to be correctly specified at the end of the command line.

Only use Gtk::Window::set_default_icon_name method when available
Bug #695279 - GParted doesn't compile on RHEL / CentOS 5.9
Applications are moving away from storing icons in /usr/share/pixmaps,
instead preferring /usr/share/icons/hicolor/$SIZE/apps, so only install
the fallback icon when GParted requires it.
Bug #695279 - GParted doesn't compile on RHEL / CentOS 5.9
Make the generated configure script additionally report these two checks
with their outcome:
checking for gtk_show_uri function... yes
checking for Gtk::MessageDialog::get_message_area() method... yes
1) Require autoconf >= 2.50
(Released May 2001).
2) Rename file to configure.ac
(Recommended with autoconf >= 2.50).
3) Update macro from AC_TRY_RUN to AC_RUN_IFELSE
(As wanted by the autoupdate program).
