This is a really handy thing to have.  Wasn't there a plan at one time
to add a DEPENDS file to the top of each module, so that make or tsort
could generate this type of list?

This still isn't quite right. 

- gnome-vfs requires capplet-widget.h, which is installed by
  control-center;

- gnome-core requires libglade;

- gnome-core also requires gnome-canvas-pixbuf.h.  Rebuilding
  gnome-libs fixed this.  This seems to indicate that gdk-pixbuf
  should be built before gnome-libs.

There were a couple other things that I noticed in the process of
building all this:

- I pulled down everything from
  ftp.rpmfind.net:linux/gnome.org/stable/betas, and didn't find
  freetype, librep, repgtk, or sawfish included.  I understood that
  sawfish was to be a part of this release, but didn't know that
  freetype was.

- When I searched for freetype on freshmeat, I noticed that its
  license is "free to use, but restricted".  Is this anything to worry
  about?
