Hi Christoph

The machine that does the GSRC report in the compile farm doesn't have
any graphics -dev packages installed.  

I started to add Makefiles for the needed packages into gsrc itself
but there were too many for me to complete it, so I commented out the
line of dependencies.

If you know what the minimum set of packages is needed to compile
Gnash on Debian 5.0 I could ask the system administrator of the
compile farm to install them.

Otherwise the solution is to add those packages into gsrc, with their
own directories and Makefiles.
