I'd suggest the 1.0 tarballs instead of CVS, if this is an installation
for use rather than development.

These are the core packages (I just left out audiofile in my last email to
Andy Kahn, oops.) You can actually build without audiofile/esound, which I
always do.

This one isn't really necessary, a couple of tiny apps depend on it
and configure will automatically do the right thing if it's not present.
If you don't have an objective C compiler installed anyway, skip it.

gnome-guile is only needed if you want to use it for development, I don't
think any apps depend on it. (could be wrong.)

These are all optional.

The E thing is optional too.

And mc is nice but also optional.
It's up to you which components you want to have. I notice you left out
gnumeric, gwp, balsa, all these apps are in development. If you want them
I'd get gnome-print and gnome-xml too.
