To end this discussion, neither me or Richard is going to waste valuable
time to try to create a statically linked version of MrProject. We
require the GNOME 2 desktop, if you don't have it upgrade, if your
distribution doesn't provide it, change distribution if you can't wait.

If someone else wants to try to make a statically linked version (which
may very well be impossible because of how we load plugins/views) feel
free.

We currently release with a five week cycle.
