Hysterical raisins. At some point it was considered that only a minimal
set of widgets would be LGPL. Fortunately common sense kicked in since
then :)

Anyway, the current split is not exactly that clear or useful, so we're
looking into how to group things better. For example
HildonFileDetailsDialog is dragging in hildon-fm and gnome-vfs
dependencies to hildon-libs. If you have ideas what kind of package /
library grouping would make sense, we're open for suggestions.
