This is not true. Every single image format loader can be deselected
at compile time. Try ./configure --help or look at 
gdk-pixbuf/makefile.msc

AFAIK the only format really required (even at compile time of
gdk-pixbuf following modules) is PNG, the GTK+ icon format.

Out of the reasons described at http://hans.breuer.org/gtk/build.html
I prefer to build Pango and gdk-pixbuf with included modules. In
short it mostly solves hassles caused by broken installations.
