I don't need IPC or remote canvases either.

And yes, it's still a problem for me.  Now I have to explain to the
audit lab that while there is now the potential to connect up to the
device over a network and use this fancy ecore_con thing to add new
functionality and change what's on the screen, thus potentially
bypassing the legal requirements for our own nefarious purposes, I
promise that we don't do that.  Cross my heart and hope to die.

EFL 1.7.2 let my remove fontconfig and it's dependencies, but made me
add pthreads and ecore_con.  At least there was still an overall
decrease in the resulting flash image size.

EFL giveth, EFL taketh away.
