Yes it is. I'm using some new functions that got introduced in 2.14 and 
the new regex search also was introduced in 2.14, so this is correct.

Yes this needs to get set higher (when I wrote the script, we didn't use 
the GtkPrintDialog and since then the dependency was correct). From the 
GTK Documentation 
(http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/gtk-High-level-Printing-API.html#gtk-High-level-Printing-API.description) 
for GtkPrintOperation it says that this option was introduced in Gtk 
2.10, that's why it won't compile with 2.8. This must maybe also be 
updated in the autotools version.
