Thanks, Yuri. But I could trace the dependencies myself. My point was, 
something is wrong if an unrelated utility such as cdrecord and a large (and 
frequently changing) library such as glib are both /required/ to build the 
X-server.

Maybe, the WITHOUT_HAL knob should be more visible... Maybe, it should not 
require cdrecord by default.

I don't have a solution -- I'm just pointing out a problem...
