I'll see what I can do to help you out...

As we've already established, contrary to my earlier posting, all the files
you need are in ...w3c-libwww-5.2.8/Library/src/. The problem is that the
make doesn't build the HTZip stuff, because it's considered an "extra". If
you modify the Makefile, however, to link the HTZip stuff into the regular
library, it works (Nautilus resolves the reference and builds). Since it'd
be too complicated trying to explain how to change the Makefile, what I
propose is that you send me a copy of the Makefile in that Library/src
directory, and I'll send you back a patch to apply against it for it to
work.

My Nautilus configure script should be identical to yours (very likely the
aforementioned Makefiles are identical, too, but better safe than thwarted
by a failed patch), so when I send the Makefile patch, I'll include a patch
for the configure file as well.

I actually got around to finishing the build last night on the x86 platform,
but after an initial "tell us about yourself" screen, Nautilus gave up the
ghost when the execution reached a section of code supposedly unreachable...
Maybe you'll have better luck, since you didn't have to massage the code any
to get it compiled.
