All of the GNOME libraries are supposed to be set up so that you can 
have both the 1.2/1.4 platform versions and the 2.0 platform versions 
installed at the same time. The libraries are all renamed 
(libglib-2.0.dylib for instance) and the include files all go in 
version-specific subdirs of $includedir.

But... the fink packages of glib, gtk, gnome, etc break the includedir 
part of that for backward compatibility with the older versions that 
didn't do the version-specific subdirs. So if you want to be able to 
have both installed, we need to put out new versions of all of the gnome 
libraries without those hacks. (Which is the right thing to do...)
