Yes.  Imlib can be built without any extra libs (i think).  Imlib only
handles xpm~s and it~s own format this way.  To handle the extra formats
you install the other libraries.  The thing is by default the imlib rpm
packages, etc come with dependencies to those libs. i.e. compile the imlib
source yourself. :-)
