It seems that `libgmock.a' is no longer provided precompiled [1].
Attached patch compiles it from the sources provided by the
`google-mock' and `libgtest-dev' packages.

After applying, run autoconf and automake to update `configure' and
`tests/Makefile.in'.

  - `configure' will now pull the source directories from two
    environment variables, GTEST_DIR and GMOCK_DIR, which default to
    `/usr/src/{gtest,gmock}' respectively
  - `Makefile' under `tests' will now compile `libgmock.a' and link
    it in as appropriate.


Currently there are only simple file checks for `gmock-all.cc' and
`gtest-all.cc' to determine if the required sources are present.  This
may not be robust enough but appears to work for now.


[1] From /usr/share/doc/google-mock/README.Debian:

    Use of precompiled libgmock
    ---------------------------

    The Google C++ Mocking Framework uses conditional compilation for
    some things.  Because of the C++ "One Definition Rule", gmock must
    be compiled with exactly the same flags as your C++ code under
    test.  Because this is hard to manage, upstream no longer
    recommends using precompiled libraries.
