No need for a table: all DLLs are always needed, that's simple.

There are really better ways. Simply take all the DLLs that come with a
Gtk+ or GtkAda binary distrib, that's very simple. Sounds like you are
really trying to make things harder for yourself.
Alternatively, reset your PATH, and run the executable until all DLLs/files
are found.
You will also probably need to distribute the etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules and
etc/pango/pango.modules files (under these directories).
Many people have no trouble in packaging/distributing Gtk+ apps, so
I'm sure you will succeed as well, although if for some psychological
reason you are not convinced, then you may want to switch to a less
powerful GUI toolkit.
