Last time I looked introspection didn't work in a cross environment, so
we disable it for most packages.

If it does work for cross now, we should consider enabling it, if not,
we should disable it.

There's an open bug in the gnome bugzilla about shipping pregenerated
.gir files with releases, but I haven't seen that happen yet.

regards,

Koen
