The gnome 2.16.0, 2.16.1, and 2.17.1 jhbuild modulesets (jhbuild is
the other build utility for GNOME besides GARNOME) all look for
iso-codes 0.53.  I think having that version would be most helpful as
far as jhbuild is concerned.  guenther is the best one to report on
what would most help GARNOME.

Thanks for working on this; it'll help a lot.  :-)
