Versions of External Dependencies in jhbuild

["Jaap Haitsma" <jaap haitsma org>]

Hi,

Overhere [1] are the versions of external dependencies listed. I'm
guessing that the minimum version should be the one present in
jhbuild. This way it can be checked if all the software builds with
the minimum version.

But for instance cairo has a minimum version of 1.2.2 at [1] but in
jhbuild version 1.4.6 is build. (Which is also not the recommended
version at [1])

I also think that some of the minimum versions of some external
modules are quite old (E.g. avahi, dbus-glib have had already several
new releases including numerous bugfixes ) and make building other non
core GNOME modules e.g. telepathy-glib and vinagre not possible
without changing the moduleset locally.
