  You can't build Gnash without OpenGL, but libmad should be optional. 
libpng should also be optional, but libjpeg is not.

  Once the current pile of changes gets done (Gtk2 support in addition 
to SDL), the library dependencies should settle down. At that point 
it'll be worth updating the manual. Otherwise I get stuck updating the 
manual several times daily, so I'd rather just wait a tiny bit more till 
I get this current development effort done. It's a little slow because I 
have to teach myself GTK...
