And would introduce some dependency hell (gtk-doc-native needed for every little gnome thing *and* udev) but more importantly it will expose us to that stupid, stupid, stupid practice of using git submodules to drag in autoconf stuff. Gstreamer is the worst offender, but there are a lot of others.

I try to have recipe build from a git tag instead of a tarball whenever possible, but it hurts a lot if it's one of that gtk-doc users, you can't disable that completely.
