Mozilla1.7 requires libIDL 0.6 or 0.8. but libIDL2 doesn't supersede
libIDL in this case. I'm not sure these functionality difference but
configure checks libIDL's version. so libIDL dependency for mozilla
compilation can still exists. Why I said `can still exists' ?  mozilla
connectivity doesn't depend on gtk1,2 but building mozilla requires one of
them. I would like to reduce the dependency so I once tried to reduce the
requirement of from gtk2 to xlib, but in this case we need libIDL and not
libIDL2. We need libIDL and it requires gtk1.

Thanks for your comment. My commit log was wrong. correct one is
since gtk1 is needed libIDL dependency,
but OOo2 of moz project build with gtk2 (and this is the default)
so dependency of gtk1 and orbit are now redundant.

No no longer needed neither glib12/gtk/12/libIDL.

Thanks for your comment!
