The compile options cut out tests for the libs, but do not allow you
to disable much.  Try downloading the tarball and have a look at
./configure --help.  Tell me how I cut out those gnome libraries.

The big joke is that galeon requires an existing mozilla install.  You
still end up with megs and megs of useless crap on your box.

And pedantry about GNOME libraries versus the GNOME desktop is so last
year.  You're right Rick, GNOME is a project, and it doesn't require
all those people to be standing next to you sharing and caring to make
it work.
