[SCIM] Please help me test the newest SCIM code.

[James Su]

Hi,
   Maybe you can try make maintainer-clean before bootstrap.
   I think --sysconfdir is necessary, maybe you should have a try.
   And gtk2immodule install dir is read from gtk2 configuration, so it 
does not honor the prefix you set.

Regards
James Su
