Yuck.  That means you need perl to build as well?

Because there are users out there who are not using gcc and do not have
the whole GNU suite installed.

What about this for a crazy idea:  What if we split out all the desktop and
such into a separate package/tarball that can have whatever dependencies
it wants?  That way people who want the desktop integration can install
this package and those that do not need/want it can just build
stock gEDA/gaf?

Also, did this GNU gettext dependency make it into PCB as well?
