Ah, yes--I forgot that I'd also made that change, here. Good catch :)

Sorry for the omission! Re-checking the other feeds, that does appear
to be the only dependency that I missed.

I know you're aware because you mentioned it on IRC, but I should
probably point out for anyone following along here, that while
my use of GJay on the NanoNote is strictly as a command-line utility,
it's actually a GTK+ application that can launch a GUI (and does so
if invoked with no parameters). And the GUI does *run* on the Ben
using GTK+/DirectFB, but it's not particularly usable.

Note also that the Makefile that I supplied builds GJay
without support for directly remote-controlling any music-players,
so it just generates playlists either for saving to a file
(from the GUI) or for output on stdout (from the command-line).
This isn't really an issue when using GJay from the command-line,
though (it mainly means that the `Play' button in the GUI
doesn't do anything), and having fewer dependencies makes
the package easier to build and install.
