Local -I before global (860 bytes, patch)

Description Daniel Macks 2008-11-23 17:56:19 UTC 
metacity-2.24.0/src/Makefile.am passes -I flags for external support libs before those for the source tree. If any .h installed in the standard places on my system happens to have the same name as one that comes with metacity, compiling can fail because the compiler will find the wrong header. Should always pass all local -I before the globals.

Local -I before global

Also removed a space between the -I flag itself and its pathname argument. Apparently some compilers can't handle that (or libtool gets confused or something).
