A related fact is that the pkg-config .pc files for gtk and related 
libraries, including glib, are version-specific, i.e., "gtk+-2.0.pc".

We should probably just wait unless there is a pressing need to move to 
the gtk3 (beta?) branch now. For one thing, librsvg does not build with 
gtk 2.90.0.

By the way, once I typed by accident:

    i686-pc-mingw32-pkg-config --cflags glib

to which the answer was:

    sh: glib-config: command not found
    sh: glib-config: command not found
    sh: glib-config: command not found

It this unexpected?
