Also worth noting that if building from CVS is too painful for you,
you can also try just building from tarballs with JHBuild (see
http://blogs.gnome.org/view/newren/2005/10/04/0); doing that might be
a good first step towards compiling from CVS.  You'd probably want to
stick with the 2.12.1 moduleset for now, though a preliminary copy of
the moduleset for the gnome-2.13.1 release will be made available in
about 2-3 hours or so for the adventurous.

Cheers,
