A lot of gtk headers use GObjectClass types, macros and such, which are
from Glib. You thus need both glib headers and libraries.

Gtk would also need to include the SONAME from glib into their own,
given that ABI breaks in glib also implicitly break their own ABI.

The GTK+ ABI stability guarantees are the same as the GLib ones. The
SONAMEs can only be changed together.
