Slim down the GTK+ lib directory in Windows installer?

[David Fifield <david () bamsoftware com>]

Hi,

If you install with the executable Windows installer, and look in
C:\Program Files\Nmap\py2exe\lib, you'll see a bunch of .lib and .dll.a
files. Are these needed at runtime or are they developer files? I have a
patch (attached) that will exclude everything in the lib directory
except for the gtk-2.0 subdirectory. That subdirectory is needed to make
the MS-Windows theme work; without it you get the plain GTK+ theme and
the message
        GtkWarning: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "wimp",

Excluding these files reduces the size of the installer program from
13222 KB to 12588 KB, which makes it smaller than any currently in the
http://nmap.org/dist directory, going back to 4.49RC4. So are the lib
files necessary for anything, so should I apply this patch?
