Andrew is big, but you don't need to install everything to have EZ
work.  Build the basic "runapp" program (in atk/apps/, which includes
the text editor and EZ), put it in a directory, give it a symlink name
"ez", make a dummy empty directory called /foo/dlib/atk, set the
environment var ANDREWDIR to "/foo", unsetenv CLASSPATH, and run "ez".
The editor will come up just find, and you can edit to your heart's
content.  Styles and everything work.  If you find you want to include
some other things (such as embedded bitmaps), just change the list of
things that get linked into the runapp image.
