Is there a site for it then, I couldn't even find anything basic in
live.gnome.org

I took the config options from the moblin srpm. Not doubt there's more tweaking
to do.

The gobject-introspection is missing at least gtk/gdk ones.

I figured they were but I'm still having issues with the build anyway so
haven't had a chance to fully optimise it.

Option from moblin again.

The gobject-introspection is 0.6.2 so one release out. I'll look at the repo
package to get that in, clutter is there. Not sure about gjs but will look as
well.

Brilliant!
