There could also be a possibility of building two nano libs:
libnano.a // just the necessary functs
libGDKnano.a // additionall GDK functionality and libnano already included
all made by a makefile
I still cannot see what isn't appropriate for nano from GDK. GDK is an
abstraction layer over Xlib. Nano-X should provide the same functionality.
Maybe DnD or RGB could be left out, but how could this be simulated by
libGDKnano, if it isn't there ?
