I dread the day we have to put together an installer for it. If we ever decide to use GTK on all platforms we'll have to since the GTK developers don't seem to think static linking is a useful thing for them to support.

I've installed several tools that come with the entirety of GTK (and even a dbus instance that tries to start on boot) in the program files folder for that specific program. The GTK folks oppose static compilation, and that's a perfectly fine point of view because they can support their opinions quite well. However, without an official "Microsoft visual c++ runtime" equivalent, distribution of GTK apps is just so annoying on Windows! You can get the entire GTK library suite just fine on most Linux distros but when it comes to non-Linux platforms, you're left to your own devices, and that means every platform comes up with its own solution, incompatible with the rest.
