It actually wants to link some the test programs with GTK+. That's
simply so that I can look at the output. The dependency on GTK+ is
going to be autodetected, and if it's not there, those test programs
will just not be built. I haven't done this yet, but it's clearly a
must-have.

For the position in the dependency graph, pixman should only require
libm, and the only thing depending on it in the X tree should be the X
server itself.
