[Buildroot] Remove the Glib 1.x / Gtk 1.x stack ?

Hello,

Gtk 1.x is not very ancient, I'm not sure it's really useful anymore.
The package hasn't been updated in a while (it's still 1.2.10, while
the latest version of the 1.x series is 1.3.15).

Can't we just remove it from Buildroot ? If so, both libgtk12 and
libglib12 can be removed.

Cheers,

Thomas

Dillo needs to be removed as well. The version of Dillo we package,
0.8.6 is ancient, and depends on Gtk 1.2. However, the latest version
of Dillo available is 2.2, and relies on FLTK instead of GTK.

So either we remove Dillo as well, or we update it to 2.2.
