Note that if your application is not libre software (it should be,
please make it libre!), then static linking means you need to provide
your application’s source code or compiled object files upon user
request so it can be relinked with another version of the LGPL’d
libraries. You will also still need to provide the other resources like
GTK’s schemas etc. But I have no experience with mxe.
