I think you should include non-GNOME software which is required by some of
the tarballs. Like Berkeley DB, graphics libraries and gettext.

You can move this to First build, since libxml doesn't depend on anything.
libxml2 requires readline.

audiofile also doesn't depend on anything.

also ORBit

Version 0.28 (that's the latest, I think) doesn't require ORBit. Whether
it requires gtk+ is questionable. There are some GTK based test programs,
but they are not installed by default. And it requires gdk-pixbuf, which
in turn requires gtk+. But I think there is no single GTK (or GDK) API
call in objects which get installed.

Sorry, I don't know the requirements for most of the sources, because I
still haven't built reasonably new versions.
