Hmm .. if it would be possible to build the bindings without pygtk that
would be the best. But if it's just not doable or too much work I guess
we can live with depending on pygtk in this case.

Having a pygtk dependency for python bindings for libmrproject is pretty
bad, since that involves an extra dependency on. Gtk+, ATK, Pango, X.

For example someone wanting to write a python-cgi script that uses a
mrproject file in the back for something would have to install X and
friends.

Or is it just a build dependency?
