Yes

Yes - but I don't see the point.

I use INO to install the files and the setup is about 7/8 Mb after
compressed into one file.  After it is installed it is approximately 20 mb
(my executable is 4 Mb on its own).

I would say you MUST do this to make sure the customer is aware of the
licensing issues he has agreed to use the software you have written.

GTK is LGPL'd.  This states that you have to make ur code LINKABLE with the
GTK libs and you have to make sure the GTK libs and source is available for
download (which it is).

This has recently been a topic of discussion at my company.  We have decided
(because of the constant changes to GTK) that it would be best that we
provide a setup on a CD for the customer, plus the object files for that
build.  That way, if they ever want to modify GTK and relink - they can.
