You can use "git clone --depth 1" to get just the latest revision. Most
of the space is taken by the files, though, not the history. Depth-1
clone takes 178 MB and full clone 371 MB (all the way to year 1985).

I'm not sure what you mean. Emacs supports these toolkits:
--with-x-toolkit=KIT use an X toolkit (KIT one of: yes or gtk, gtk2,
gtk3, lucid or athena, motif, no)
(See configure --help)
I use libgtk2.0-dev (for GTK2) but those who prefer GTK3 would install
libgtk-3-dev instead. The "configure" script will detect what you have
installed. See its output.
