You can get jhbuild to generate a dependency graph for you.  After 
downloading it and setting up a minimal ~/.jhbuildrc file (using one of 
the samples), run the following command:
   jhbuild dot [packages ...] > dependencies.dot

(if you don't list any packages, it will compute dependencies for what 
would normally be built when you run "jhbuild build".  Otherwise, it 
will only list the packages you specify and their dependencies).

This will generate a dot file that can be converted to postscript using 
GraphViz (www.graphviz.org) for viewing like so:
   dot -Tps dependencies.dot > dependencies.ps

Hope this helps,

James.
