Sounds good. 

For the record, if you're referring to the X11 libs, they're optional. The X11
lib dependency can be disabled by building with "NO_X=1" on the gmake
command-line. The curses/ncurses library used to also be optional, but I don't
know off hand the steps required to build without curses/ncurses support.
