it is not necessarily true.  When you compile the "whole" LTI-Lib, there is a 
libltinv.a, (no-viewer), which does not have the viewer stuff, and therefore, 
it does not need the GTK.  The lti-local-config and lti-config scripts have 
both an option "nogtk" for that matter:

lti-config --libs nogtk 

indicates the libraries to link with and

lti-config --cxxflags nogtk 

has all options to compile without gtk.

If your application needs gtk2 then I see no problem in using those options 
and just adding the extra stuff in your Makefile

The configure --without-gtk option was meant if you definitively do not want 
any gtk support ever!

In principle we do that already: liblti?.a are the complete libraries with gtk 
support and libltinv?.a are the ones without gtk/viewers support.

I think this libltinv stuff is what you are looking for, but if not, let us 
know
