/etc/lsb-release says:
"Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS"

Note that I do not have any control of the release version on
this laptop, for security reasons enforced for all employees
of my company.

I used to run awesome from git/master until about last week,
but then it grew a dependency on lgi, and lgi depends in turn
on gobject-introspection >= 0.10.8.  But this version of
gobject-introspection is not available at all on my release.

What my main question is I guess goes like this:

- This seems to have added a dependency (indirect, through lgi,
  but still a dependency) of awesome to GTK+ or Gnome stuff
  with very specific version constraints.

- If that's the case, is there any way to build _without_ the features
  that depend on lgi and gobject-introspection?
