Hi Florian,

Bah indeed.  pluma and mate-applets both fail to build.  :-/

I agree we need more automation here.  One way to do this would be
something like =E2=80=98make assert-binaries-available=E2=80=99, which chec=
ks for
substitute availability (it could be a prerequisite of =E2=80=98make dist=
=E2=80=99),
where we=E2=80=99d explicitly check for DEs on x86_64 and i686.  That would=
 be
an improvement, though it=E2=80=99d still be quite handcrafted.

Ludo=E2=80=99.
