Your other points are technical, which I have no knowledge on, so I will
only comment on this. 

I was referring to including the development headers in packages. In
most distros, there are things like "gtk2" and "gtk2-devel". We include
both in one package. At least, I think you misunderstood. I'm pretty
sure this has been going on long before XFCE4.
