I checked for the 'static' Midori dependencies in Slackware 11.
(Static may only mean it includes glibc?).

I cannot find libgio (GNOME input/output library written in C) at 
linuxpackages.net or anywhere else, or even the source code for it.  The 
Puppy Linux version probably needs a newer glibc than SW11.

Steven, can you help with this?  I would like to make a package of the 
Midori dependencies and whatever else is needed by Seamonkey 2, Firefox 3, 
and other GTK2 browsers.

The others total 8MB, and apart from libsqlite3 (which I compiled a while 
back), are in packages elflibs, gtk+2, atk pango cairo freetype fontconfig 
and libxml2.  The gtk2 solib is 3MB.  (gtk1 solib is 1.3MB).  Midori is 
2.5MB.  Any computer fast enough to run gtk1 programs will probably have 
enough memory for gtk2 unless libgtk expands somehow when in memory.
Puppy Linux seems to run GTK2 Seamonkey okay at 200MHz (with enough RAM).
