You don't need this either [1]

You definitely don't need that

You definietly don't need that.

You need this (unless you want to download hundreds of megabytes again
and again)

This isn't any better.

I wrote this so often already:

Using system hunspell on mac is stupid, no mac user will have hunspell
installed on the system. So compiling agains system version is the
same as disabling it.

Automake/autoconf, m4, coreutils, libgmp, iconv: All useless, not needed.

[1] You don't need /any/ external dependency unless you want to
compile mozilla/seamonkey from scratch (i.e. when not using
--disable-mozilla).

Then you /need/: libIDL and glib2 and gettext (and pkg-config for convenience).

All the other stuff is useless and not needed at all.

But you should get ccache as well, to speed up subsequent builds
