libart_lgpl and pango are required to build current versions of gtk+, but in the past there were ways to build it without them. It's probably redundant to have them in our dependency list, but I can't be sure. swig is needed for integrating the C and Scheme (Guile) parts of Gnucash. libgnomeprint is deprecated and its functions have been absorbed by gtk+ in 2.10, so it should be safe to delete it as a dependency. libofx is required for reading Microsoft Money and Quicken files. libgsf is some sort of structured file interface, which Gnucash uses. A good way to work out what dependencies are used is to use ldd on the binaries. Remember to check dynamically-loaded bundles as well as executables and shared libraries, and to follow all dependencies.
