 * Granted, part 3 of THGTTG was not the best, but important concepts
 * like ``Someone Else's Problem'' should definitely stay in the
 * collective subconscious. ;-)

Aw, stop that.  You're giving me a headache. ;)

 * Depends on whether configure finds /usr/local/bin/gtk-config first or
 * /usr/X11R6/bin/gtk-config. I hate it.

And that depends on?  (Yes, I hate it too.)

 * Well, the author of py-gtk just wrote he'd be moving on to
 * gtk-1.1. This may or may not mean that gtk-1.1 is incompatible to
 * gtk-1.0, I can't tell.

I see.  He might be saying he's not going to support gtk-1.0 anymore.
The incompatibility might be only in one direction.

 * 			  Why would we need different ports for the two
 * versions if they were compatible?

Vanilla said 1.0 is the stable version and 1.1 is the development
version.

Vanilla, if they are compatible but you wanted a different port to
test it while the bugs are hashed out, you don't need to make them
coexist, just mark gtk11 with MANUAL_PACKAGE_BUILD="beta testing" or
something.  When gtk11 is deemed reliable enough, we'll switch all the 
dependencies over.
