Also worth noting is that you can get the exact list of modules &
tarball version number for a given tarball release (in addition to
getting a valid build order), if you have jhbuild installed, via the
command

 jhbuild -m http://download.gnome.org/teams/releng/2.16.1/gnome-2.16.1.modules
list -r

(replacing both instances of '2.16.1' with the appropriate gnome
version you are interested in).  Of course there are a couple
'virtual' modules in the list, but they all begin with 'meta-' and
thus can easily be removed.  If there are people that would find this
information useful, it shouldn't be hard to put up on a page
somewhere.  Is there anything other than build order, module list, and
version numbers that are needed for ISVs/ISDs wanting to build GNOME?
