The timing is unfortunate, because smilutils is already tied to the glib1.2
transition and had not yet been built on all architectures. So these two
library transitions now appear to be linked. Fortunately the set of
reverse-deps for libquicktime is fairly small, so this probably won't have
too much of an effect on the timing as long as other library transitions
don't surprise us mid-process.
