GTK win32 port: jpeg and TIFF dlls

[Allin Cottrell <cottrell wfu edu>]

I recently tried updating from the 2.10 to the 2.12 version of the 
GTK runtime for the stand-alone Windows package of my GTK app.

I see that there's now a hard-wired dependency on the jpeg and 
TIFF dlls.  That is, the app won't start without these libraries 
(but it ran OK under the 2.10 GTK runtime).

I'd rather not include these libraries if possible, since they're 
not in fact needed and the package is already quite large.  I was 
therefore thinking of making stub dlls that claim to be jpeg62.dll 
and libtiff3.dll.  Can anyone tell me, would I have to include 
some specific dummy entry-point to make these acceptable to
whatever's the Windows equivalent of ld.so?
