pgagent - compiling in linux without a graphical envinronment

I'm using PostgreSQL on a Debian Linux System without a graphical interface.
 
I'm trying to install pgadmin3 v1.4.0, but I have to install wxWidgets, GTK, and others.
 
Could you build pgagent on a separate package?  Like a unique daemon?

Won't help. Currently, pgAgent is implemented in C++, using wxWidgets
for some OS abstraction. You'll need to install the whole stuff...
Actually, I'd like it refactored to be pure C to support the same server
platforms as pgsql and reduce dependencies.  Any volunteers?
