I guess it's also a run-time dependency? Or does pygtk do dynamic
loading of gtk in some way? If gtk, pango, etc, are required during
run-time, then we might as well have it as tarball build-time
requirement too.

In the long run, it would be nice to be able to provide bindings that
don't have this kind of requirements though, for scenarios like the one
Mikael talked about.
