[Geany] [PATCH] link vte in dynamically instead of using g_module_open

Hello,

Geany doesn't find the vte lib in fedora when you have just the vte 
package installed, but it works fine when you have vte-devel installed.  
This is because the normal vte package is something like libvte.so.0.9.4 
or something like that, and geany doesn't pick it up, however vte-devel 
installs libvte.so which geany does pick up, and since i need vte-devel 
to build the geany package for fedora I didn't notice this, but if you 
don't have vte-devel installed geany complains about not being able to 
load the terminal.  Since I can't require a -devel package for a normal 
package I have to make geany link vte in during compile instead of doing 
g_module_open.  I just finished this patch this morning and tested it 
and it works well.  Will you guys include this?  Or is there a specific 
reason you use g_module_open and g_module_symbol?  It looks like you 
were putting it in the configure script at one point, but just commented 
it out.  This has been hashed out in between work and in a couple of 
airports so I apologize if its messy or I missed something stupid.  Thanks,

Josef
