To expand on this, I just built Rhythmbox with jhbuild on my machine and it
took all of about 5 minutes.  I'm running Ubuntu 13.10, which (like other
recent distributions) can provide all the build dependencies which
Rhythmbox requires:

$ sudo apt-get build-dep rhythmbox

I have this line in my .jhbuildrc, which tells jhbuild to build only the
modules I ask for, not their dependencies:

skip = ['*']

So with the above, building Rhythmbox from git master is as easy as this:

$ jhbuild buildone rhythmbox

Done!  :)
