Build the Clutter 1.4 development branch instead of against Clutter 1.2;
this seems to work fine with GNOME Shell at this point, with various
fixes having been applied Mutter, GNOME Shell, and Clutter.
This is required to handle Provides header, as used by lib*-dev packages
(for example libtiff5-dev provides libtiff-dev), this allows the build
setup script to specify the "generic" package names.

The gdk-pixbuf autogen.sh uses autopoint. This is part of
gettext on most systems, but Fedora 14 splits autopoint
into a separate subpackage, so we need to add a version
check.
For completeness, system version extraction is added generally,
though we are only using it on Fedora currently.

Now that we are targetting GTK+ 3.0, always build the full GTK+ stack,
along with librsvg and gtk-engines (so we have an SVG loader, and maybe
the user's GTK+ theme engine.)
New modules:
gtk+-3, gtk-engines-3, gnome-desktop-3, gdk-pixbuf, pixman, cairo, librsvg
Removed modules:
gir-repository
Add new requirements to gnome-shell-build-setup.sh and remove some
older requirements we no longer need.
Based on a patch from Colin Walters
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=621845
* Add dconf and dependencies to the moduleset and add
libxml2 dependency to gnome-shell-build-setup.sh
* if we can't ping the dconf D-Bus service, try to
activate it manually.
* Stop forcing GConf via GSETTINGS_BACKEND
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=622308
Use GSettings for all Shell configuration. GConf is kept to read
configuration from external programs (Metacity, Nautilus and Magnifier),
but ShellGConf is removed because it's mostly useless for the few calls
we still have. Also get rid of unused GConf code in ShellAppSystem.
A basic GConf schema is still used to override Metacity defaults and
configure Magnifier in a system-wide fashion. GConf is also used as
GSettings backend via the GSETTINGS_BACKEND environment variable.
All of this will be removed when these programs have been ported
to GSettings and able to use dconf.
GLib 2.25.9 is required. Schemas are converted to the new XML format,
and compiled at build time in data/ so that the Shell can be run from
the source tree. This also requires setting the GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR
environment variable both when running installed or from source tree,
in src/gnome-shell.in and src/gnome-shell-clock-preferences.in.

We want to have Clutter built with the external json-glib, with
introspection support. Clutter's build breaks if we compile
it with introspection but the system install doesn't have it,
and anyways the internal copy is buggy and unmaintained.
- Specify a minimum version of clutter-1.2.0
- Switch clutter branch in the moduleset to master
- Replace deprecated cogl_texture/material_unref() with
cogl_handle_unref()
- Use cogl_clip_push_rectangle() rather than cogl_clip_push()
- Replace cogl_check_extension() with strstr - should be
accurate enough.

This basically drops gir-repository, but pulls in GTK+ and stack.
TODO on this - we need to patch GTK+ to (possibly optionally)
pull in stuff like pixbuf loaders and themes from the system as well.

Add StIMText, which is a drop-in replacement for ClutterIMText but
uses GtkIMContext instead of ClutterIMContext.
StIMText doesn't have preedit support (would need ClutterText
changes), so isn't going to be useful for complicated input methods,
but is good enough to get dead keys and similar working.
entry.js: Simple test case of StEntry
gnome-shell.modules: Remove clutter-imcontext module
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=597471
Clutter requires Pango.gir. Until Pango is universally available
in a version that builds its own GIR, Pango.gir is built as part
of gir-repository.

gnome-shell.in: Remove the code to replace gnome-panel by attaching
to it with GDB; this was always problematical (required gdb, debug
symbols, finding the pid of gnome-panel, etc.)
gnome-shell-build-setup.sh: Require 2.26 to be in place before building
the shell; remove gdb from the list of required packages.

With the recent switch to use libgnome-desktop for thumbnailing instead
of libngomeui, we should require that instead.
(Updated for Debian/Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSuSE, unable to figure out
the right name for Mandriva in a quick web search.)
For now, we want to stick to the stable branch of clutter rather
than tracking new developments. Now that Clutter has branched for
1.0 switch our moduleset to the clutter-1.0 branch.
In the build setup script using unversioned xulrunner-dev and
python-dev gives better compatibility with different operating
systems and versions than using xulrunner-1.9-dev and python2.5-dev.

Checking return code of dpkg --status doesn't handle removed files
properly. Get the text status of the package instead and make sure
that it is 'installed'.

For development and demonstration purposes, it's neat to be able to
record a screencast of gnome-shell without any external setup.
Built-in recording can also give much better quality than is possible
with a generic desktop recording, since we hook right into the paint
loop.
src/shell-recorder.[ch]: A general-purposes object to record a Clutter
stage to a GStreamer stream.
src/shell-recorder-src.[ch]: A simple GStreamer source element (similar
to appsrc in the most recent versions of GStreamer) for injecting
captured data into a GStreamer pipeline.
src/test-recorder.c: Test program that records a simple animation.
configure.ac src/Makefile.am: Add machinery to conditionally build
ShellRecorder.
tools/build/gnome-shell-build-setup.sh: Add gstreamer packages
to the list of required packages for Fedora.
js/ui/main.js: Hook up the recorder to a MetaScreen ::toggle-recording
keybinding.

jhbuildrc-gnome-shell: Remove obsolete setting of
os.environ['INSTALL'] - setting installprog is the modern way
to do it.
jhbuildrc-custom-example: Show how to override installprog to
work around #571240 on Arch Linux.
