Notice that gtkIniti.ml contains only the simple line :
let locale = GtkMain.Main.init ()
Which could as well be called directly by the program using lablgtk, and thus
we can remove gtkInit.cmo from the META file, or something such, andd let the
user link it by hand if needed.
That said, i don't know how findlib work, and if other nice r tricks are
possible.
