Oh, damn! Good catch, Joseph, yet again. :)

Guess it's time to break with the old habit of building platform and
bindings entirely, before even starting to build desktop... :-/

Neither am I. I never liked those forward/backward dependencies anyway,
effectively prohibiting a clean build order of the meta-garballs. With
all those dependencies, most meta-garballs are one big mess. <sarcasm>
What's the purpose of those different official GNOME categories again?
</sarcasm>

Well, guess we'll just have to deal with it...

IMHO it is "fine" to depend on garballs in platform, bindings and
desktop here. Not sure about fifth-toe and geektoys, even less about
office. But as it is gda only, maybe...

Paul, what about this:

* add commented out LIBDEPS dependencies to gnome-python-extras for the
  latter ones (the nasty ones)
* add a check to *rebuild* gnome-python-extras to the Makefiles of the
  latter garballs, just as we did for mono already

I am totally aware that this will result in multiple rebuilds of
gnome-python-extras for the default build (if all those extra garballs
are built at least, which is not the average case). But since we got
nasty dependencies like this...
