I remember looking but I don't remember what I saw - I /think/ they
are available, so I'll do that if they are.  Fred Peters, from the
GNOME development team, said I can safely ignore this particular issue
as git modules are rare and not in use at the moment.

FYI, I'm currently running CentOS at home but FC8 at work, so I can't
check until I get home.

Without meaning to be difficult, shouldn't the build be set up to do
this automatically?  Isn't that the point of having jhbuild do the
work?

If that's too contentious, how do I go about arranging <what?> to do
this (build dbus-glib-1 first)?

BTW, how do I terminate the build at this point - I've tried option 7
but I get another menu, and I tried option 3, but then it goes on to
other errors.  I wound up doing ^C a few times to kill the whole
thing, but that seems kind of lame and ugly....

Thanks.
