How vanilla were you able to make it? IOW did you need any of the gtk-osx
stuff, like jhbuildrc-gtk-osx, or could someone check out jhbuild and your two
modulesets and build an arbitrary meta-gnome-extended-devel-platform?
I suggest that rather than filing a bug you bring it up on gtk-devel and see
what is the reaction of the broader community; the objective would be to
integrate your modulesets into the standard gnome set in jhbuild and
gnome-modulesets.
