Years ago when I used acroread I found it quite irritating that it came with its own bundled gtk and pretty much everything else.

I don't know if Grant's binaries are of similar persuasion. -- Please don't Cc: me privately on mailing lists and Usenet, if you also post the followup to the list or newsgroup.
