Yes, you can disable these two dependencies at compile time with --disable-bluetooth --disable-notify. There's no command line option at the moment, although it wouldn't be too hard to make these libs optional: put the OBEX transport class and the notify code into loadable modules that are skipped when they cannot be loaded. As you said, libnotify is used for autosync notifications, which may not be used at all and will work without notifications. OBEX is only needed for direct sync with phones. This sounds like a useful improvement.
