Don't edit .jhbuildrc. You can set moduleset = foo (with whatever value of foo you like) in .jhbuildrc-custom.

Since you're building from unstable, and so using Pango git master, you shouldn't need Freetype anymore. I (just) added mm-common as a dependency of libsig++, so you won't need to build it after I push the commit.

Probably better to build meta-gtk-osx-gtk3. The atk-bridge module has been removed, and the gtk3 module's autogen-args includes "--without-atk-bridge", the "skip" isn't needed.

I've just added that to the  moduleset as well.

Better to wait a little while, I'm testing my additions to the moduleset and I'll push it when I'm done.
