Can you make meta-gtk-osx-gtk3 a dependency of meta-gtk-osx-gtkmm so it does not have to be built independently?  I will hold off until you make your changes.  What is the status of the gtkmm3 package in modulesets-stable?  Is it similar to meta-gtk-osx-gtkmm in modulesets-unstable?  They have similar dependencies.  I tried it some time ago without success but I never worked on it long.

(At least I think so… I'm trying that now.) Note that you can set up the whole thing in .jhbuildrc-custom so that all you have to type is `jhbuild build` .

Hmmmm.  Dang.  I thought that I had replied to the list as well.  I will 
try to do so in the future.
The proof of the pudding... and all that.  I will give it a try and 
report back.  I will build meta-gtk-osx-gtkmm in "modulesets-unstable" 
and build gtk+-3.0 when it needs it.
