If Gtk is to be compiled with introspection support it has to be
installed before atk, pango and all the the deps. It doesn't matter how
many Gnome apps need introspection, only people who're installing Gnome
need it. For us mere mortals who don't install Gnome, Gobject
Introspection causes nothing but problems with _no_ benefit.
