Re: [gtkmm] gtkmm is really big

["Seth Moore" <seth beere org>]

We're looking to share 32 MB with a bunch of other apps.  So a 5 MB 'starting
point' is really unacceptable for what we're needing.  I was really hoping
someone would say 'did you try X', but alas...

I did have to make some changes to the build process to get gtkmm to link
statically with gtk+-fb.  I tried to follow the pattern established for win32
builds.  If someone with proper authority wants to review and commit them, I'd
be happy to post them.
