I hit a bit of a wall with this, and didn't manage to finish it.
This was partly due to time, and partly because some packages
appear to need newer versions of dependencies than specified here.
For example, some want libunique-1.x and others libunique-3.x.

Unless someone has that "Building Gnome for Dummies", I'm afraid
that I don't know how to resolve these problems for gnome-2.32.

Which brings us to a bigger problem: I can't see how we can have
both gnome-2.30 [or 2.32] in the moonbase as well as gnome-3.0.
I could be wrong -- I frequently am -- but it looks like we may
need to have multiple versions of some of the lower dependencies
to have both, and I can't see an easy way to resolve that.
