Based on these I've created a two-binary package, one equivalent to the
current one and another minimal dependency one - for use on my XFCE
system.
Debian .diff.gz attached, unpack and diff against your unpacked revision
to see what changed.

For a reasonably clean rules file I had to rename the "regular" build to
ekiga-full.
That's suboptimal, but I'm not sure how to work around easily.

TODOs:

- There should probably a -common package (or perhaps ekiga, depending on
  ekiga-full | ekiga-tiny) which contains, well, all files contained in
  both builds ;)
- I had to make some upstream changes to get things to build out of the
  source directory. Most changes are clean and straight-forward I believe,
  but there was one particular class of changes which is ugly: upstream
  #includes ../../config.h in a lot of places, as there's an internal
  config.h along the include path. In an out-of-source build, there is no
  more ../../config.h; incidentally due to the available -I flags I was
  able to change them to ../config.h instead and get things to work but
  ideally the internal config.h should be renamed to something less
  generic so it no longer clashes with the autotools config.h, and then
  the include can be - as it should - for just "config.h".

I can't file a wishlist bug yet as the package has not entered the
archives.

I hope you'll include two builds in a next version.


Regards,

Filip
