That's a good plan.
The risk is that there are older (or incomplete) versions of GTK out
there which don't work well with Emacs, so making --with-gtk the
default would make it harder to get a working Emacs on such systems.
Personally, I had a lot of problems trying to collect a working set of
GTK libraries when I tried to update my Redhat 9.0 to be able to build
--with-gtk. I don't recall whether it succeeded or I gave up on it,
but I haven't tried to build --with-gtk since, and probably wont.
