XFCE4 in JHBuild

Not one to discriminate against the major Linux desktop suites, I’ve created a very basic XFCE 4.4 moduleset. As with the KDE4 moduleset, the dependencies aren’t perfect – I just added them until “jhbuild build xfce4″ worked. I’ll probably correct the dependencies some more and set it up to “recommend” that you build against the same GTK as GNOME 2.22 at some point.

The big thing XFCE has over KDE in JHBuild? If i just want to do some work with orage, I can “jhbuild build orage” and only get the bits of XFCE i need to use orage. With KDE, their module layout may render this impossible without some ugly hackery :-(
