Worse, with gtk2 the x11 and quartz variants aren't binary-compatible; one installs libgtk-x11 and the other installs libgtk-quartz. Dependent ports need to link against one or the other, so we're looking at requiring everything that depends on gtk2 to have -quartz and -x11 subports. At least, I'm assuming they're really not binary-compatible; I guess I don't actually know what would happen if we gave the libraries the same name... Dan -- Dan R. K.
