libIDL shouldn't be necessary. libIDL2 should supersede the need for 
libIDL... IMO OO's mozilla should be trained to use gtk20 and ignore 
gtk12, and the gtk12/glib12/libidl dependencies should be removed if 
possible.

The FreeBSD GNOME team has been phasing out gtk12 support whenever gtk20 
support is available as much as possible, and I think that it'd be a big 
win to have OO do the same. gtk12 is now not needed for any app in any 
of the GNOME metaports... are you sure that glib12/gtk12/libIDL are 
necessary for OO?
