Well, I got pretty far (20/23 modules built successfully), but jhbuild 
gets stuck building gtkmm.  The error looks like I shouldn't be getting 
it, but this is what it says:

Making all in src
make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/src/jhbuild-sources/gtkmm/atk/src'
/opt/jhbuild-root/lib64/glibmm-2.4/proc/gmmproc -I ../../tools/m4 --defs 
. action . ./../atkmm
No conversion from const gchar* to const Glib::ustring& defined (line: 
0, parameter name: desc)
m4 failed with exit code 1.  Aborting...
make[3]: *** [.stamps/stamp-action] Error 1

It looks like jhbuild is checking out the gtkmm-2.12 branch which is 
producing the error.  Is there a reason that jhbuild would want to check 
out gtkmm-2.12 instead of the trunk?  I'm using the latest jhbuild , 
using moduleset 'gnome-2.22' and have modules set to 'gstreamermm' 
(which depends on gtkmm).  I'm a little confused.
