Description:

Gconf is deprecated in favour of GSettings [1]. It is advisable to remove gconf from emacs list of dependencies. This doesn't require altering any other part of the pkgbuild.

With gconf as mandatory dependency of emacs, a gconfd daemon is instantiated whenever emacs or any other gconf-aware application (like firefox) is started.

Also, since the pkgbuild does not pass in `--with-gconf', the resulting Emacs is not actually built with gconf support (GSettings is detected and used instead), so this should be an easy removal.
