Linux dependencies

The Release Notes for v6.1.2 note:
For GUI apps those dependencies make a lot of sense and should pose no problem on modern systems. But I use standalones for a lot of server and other faceless apps, and I'm concerned about the possibility of having future versions of these apps break when these GUI libs become required.
If there's any practical way those could be ignored when running with -ui I'd be very grateful.
Which of those are not currently required, and how feasible is it to make them optional when running a standalone with -ui?The following changes are likely to occur in the next or subsequent non-maintenance release: The engine (both IDE and standalone) will require gtk, gdk, glib, pango and xft on Linux
