Hi,
Now, gegl has 13 optional dependencies that could be use-flagged. The pity
is, it has no configure-option for most of them, they are autodetected.
A good example for miserable design ;-P
That's why I everything should be entirely built in sysroot.
My experience with the gimp developers in the past was that they weren't
very pleased by bugs about automagic deps and I assume if I post them
without patches, they'll get closed immediately. Now I always avoided to
dig too deep into autotools, so I don't feel skilled enough for this task.
Ping me and we could work out something, probably the best way would be
hack a PKG_CONFIG_CONDITIONAL that does whatever the canned pkgconfig
does+ adding the --enable option.
I strongly advise against this. The clean way is to fix the package.
(it's build scripts). I'm doing so in the OSS-QM project, eg. for
Mozilla ...
That is the plan, you produce a simple m4 macro that does for you once
and then apply it every time you have a bare pkg check.
I'd like to invite you to the OSS-QM project - let's do all the
cleanups there and provide overlay by patch, so all distros now
just have to pick their right configure args.

I'll have a look soon.
