Yes, apart from the official GNOME Desktop and Developer Platform,
GARNOME ships with "a host of third-party GNOME packages, Bindings and
the Mono(tm) Platform", as mentioned in the release announcements. :)

Anyway, please note: The additional packages are optional. When using
GARNOME, you are free to build or not build them.

Thanks for your work, I guess. Though you really do not need to care
about those deps, since resolving the deps is an important part about
GARNOME. It takes care of them for you.

Exactly that's where the deps are defined.

No. That's not recursion. The "LIBDEPS +=" apply some deps by build
magic, gathering from your environment if a particular dep needs to be
built or is satisfied already.

Yup. Unfortunately we can not ship with every dependency. Those deps are
detailed in the README and should be provided by your distro.

[ list snipped ]

Note that this includes *everything*, even matchbox, which typically is
not built.

Actually, rather than "19 rounds", this all boils down to *one* single
command when using GARNOME:

$ make install
