Well it's a dependency on a small static library. Nothing much to worry 
about, and when you are a console with mouse support, it is nice to 
have.

Well I do care quite a lot about unexpected side effects. ;-) Your last 
patch completely broke the static linking of GTK on non-Linux 
platforms, which I critically needed for my own projects. I have fixed 
this now, but it's still very delicate to alter the linking system 
without breaking something.
