Sidenote: It's a mix of GTK and xlib unfortunately, if it were GTK
only it would be easily portable to Windows and Mac OS X and much more
useful.

I don't see why we should remove the GUI (without a good replacement).
Some people do like having a GUI, there's no need to take it away from
them.  MPlayer is around 27M uncompressed (4.9M compressed), the Gui
dir is about 1.1M (175k compressed).  That's not an unbearable amount
of bloat IMO.
