Build Identifier: M20100211-1343

Having the Import/Export Settings Wizard cover include paths and symbols is a good start.

To be practical for Gtk/Gnome programs, it needs to also cover the required libraries.  Screenshots attached showing the libraries needed (30 of them!) for a fairly typical Gtk/Gnome application.

The Import/Export Wizard would likely be the best place for this, as it's targeted to address pretty much exactly this kind of thing.

Reproducible: Always
