That's not completly true. Some files are installed by both, like glib-config, etc.. This will have to be handled by splitting the glib/glib20 packages into two each (or even three: main, -shlibs and -bin) > >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.

Actually, for me glib is installed correctly into glib-1.3, gtk in gtk-1.2 and gnome in gnome-1.0. I am not sure what you are refering to? If you are talking about the symlink from /sw/include/gtk to /sw/include/gtk-1.2 - yeah, that may have to go, but that's not affecting glib. In fact I am running with glib-1.2 and glib-2.0 next to each other in /sw for quite some time now, I just never packaged it up. A package for glib probably isn't hard, maybe a couple of libtool changes, not much else I'd think. The part that requires some work (but "easy" work in the sense that it's not that complicated, just tedious) is to get both versions of glib to coexist cleanly.
