Another issue with using GTK/GDK is not the binary size, but the extra
run time overhead for adapting this layer between Mozilla and DirectFB.
GDK has some different semantics that forbid optimizations or cause a
'more-than-some-call-translations' overhead to emulate them, while LiTE
can really benefit from the differences in DirectFB.
