Neither are true. GTK is a reasonably small dependency especially given
that GLIB is a mandatory dependency. I can't imagine that in terms of
binary size, libsdl is much bigger than gtk/gdk.

Double check your facts. That's not even close to being true.

SDL is a tiny fraction of Gtk+.

Just as an example taking a look at package sizes..

549KB for SDL vs 17.3MB for just Gtk+ and its dependencies (7 libraries)
excluding Glib2 and what it depends on.

I don't see how 17.3MB qualifies as "huge".

 Glib2 and dependencies are 14.5MB
(5 libraries). The two in total drag in 12 libraries at 31MBs. That's IMO
a fair bit larger than QEMU itself at 25.9MB.
