That's the difference between using a compiled language and an interpreted
language - don't compare php-gtk to VB or C, compare it to pygtk or perl-gtk
or ruby-gtk or any similar interpreted language.  Also remember that
although Gtk+ itself is not native on windows (you have to install all the
libraries too) it IS native on any system using Gnome.  That's why the
windows install is larger.

Also remember you can write multiple php-gtk programs, but a machine only
needs one install of php-gtk - it's like having to install the .NET runtime
or Mono

If size (and/or speed) are paramount for what you're writing, an interpreted
language is probably not the best choice - choose a compiled language (right
tool for the job)

Also 30MB?  php-gtk for windows with a minimal PHP install, all the gtk
libraries, and no internationalization runs about 13MB - there are things
you can strip out when you distribute if you're really having issues with
size.

Thanks,
Elizabeth

oops, forgot the list
