Uh. No, thats not what I meant. The *librares* are needed. Thats not
so much different from other graphical libraries, though -- without
libX11, it gets hard. However, you don't need to run other *programs*,
which could be a problem on low-memory machines. As it stands, gnorpm
requires 4MB of memory on my machine, which is not exactly small but
comparable to glint IIRC.
I think that statically linking everything, like /bin/rpm does it, is
only feasible for command-line tools.
