Ah, remembered one of the examples.  xcdroast won't build without
gtk+ installed, even though it only links against gtk2.  That's because
it can be built against either, and the use of various auto* macros.

Of course, xcdroast also has this big honking error which was fixed in
FC3 but the patch applied in FC3 is still left out of the devel package:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=134334

I rebuilt it myself after doing the trivial work necessary to apply the
patch; that's why I found that it requires gtk+ installed.  (The actual
RPM BuildRequire is on gdk-pixbuf-devel, which yoinks the rest in.)
