We're not talking about compilation; we're talking about making packages
for installation with a given system's package manager.

To my knowledge, GNOME compiles out of the box on all of the BSDs.
If not, then their users should get on the ball and start submitting
bug reports.

On an unrelated note, can someone get the list software at gnome.org's
MX to stop adding the "Resent-cc: recipient list not shown: ;" header?
Lots of mailers, mine included, take this and add "recipient list not
shown:" as a cc: entry on replies.
