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)

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.
