For linux that's even simpler: Gtk+ is part of the linux distributions,
so simply do not distribute the Gtk+ DLLs and link with the static libgtkada
(using gtkada-config --static). My answer was specifically for Windows.

Although under Linux, simply using LD_LIBRARY_PATH does not require anything
fancy as you listed above, so that's really a non issue as well, even when
needed (you could have a look at how we do it for GPS for instance).
