Ooh, I'd love to see timing numbers. The size differences are pretty impressive; it would likely make a noticable impact on times for building releases for garnome users, release team members, and others. Anyone want to cook up a patch for libwnck/metacity so I can see how quick and small it is on my module(s)? (Hey, if I'm too lazy to deal with autotools for my modules and almost always delegate it, I can also be too lazy to deal with any other system, right?)
