That always kind of bugged me.  If I wanted to go w/ strictly gtk2 libs,
the arrangement of those flags limits me to having to package mask the
gtk1 libs, which is kind of a sucky approach.

I understand that this setup is in use now, so we can't just go and
change their meaning spur of the moment- that said, I'd suspect a lot of
users haven't picked up on the gtk != use gtk1 libs (I know I didn't
originally).
