Indeed, IMVHO lablgtk should follow the packaging structure hinted at
https://github.com/garrigue/lablgtk/pull/14 and don't depend on
`conf-gtk`.

This would have the important additional benefit of allowing fully
automatic OPAM releases, which are trickier to do when the conf-foo
package is there.
