I'm not speaking as a representative of the GTK project, but I will note
that as the lead developer of a large scale app that uses GTK to provide
portability to Linux, OS X and Windows, it is my judgement that you should
plan to bundle GTK within your application and not rely on it being
installed separately. I can speak to this less on Windows, where I have
less understanding of things, but on OS X it simply makes a lot more sense
to cook up a .app bundle with everything your application needs, including
GTK and really seems to reflects Apple's intentions for 3rd party apps that
rely on additional 3rd party libraries.
