This is because we have multiple copies of the gtk* ports. The
gtk-1.0 port installs gtk-config. The gtk-1.1 installs gtk11-config.
The gtk-1.2 port installs gtk12-config. Same goes for the glib*
ports. This is not a bug, rather by design to allow multiple versions
of the same port to co-exist because for awhile the gtk* and glib*
ports were so fast a moving target that we had ports requiring
different minor versions of the three ports we had in the tree. I
think most of the ports now use gtk-1.2, so this is not much of a
problem now. In fact,
bonsai[/usr/ports]$ grep x11-toolkits/gtk12 */*/Makefile | wc -l
61
bonsai[/usr/ports]$ grep x11-toolkits/gtk11 */*/Makefile | wc -l
0
bonsai[/usr/ports]$ grep x11-toolkits/gtk10 */*/Makefile | wc -l

Looks likes we should remove the gtk11 port now since it is not
used. The gtk10 port can probably go too, if we mark the few that
use it as broken until we get them to work with gtk12.
Were you having problems with any ports in particular needing
gtk-config that didn't have a dependency on the gtk10 port? Or
was this with software not in the ports collection?
