I'm with you on that. It's just that at the moment the dependencies for
+x11 aren't actually any smaller because it depends on librsvg which
depends on gtk anyway, which kind of negates the point. 

I am not really clear on what emacs is using librsvg for. The
dependency seems to have popped up in emacs23. It might be reasonable
to disable it for non-gtk builds.
