[thanks to Balsa everyone got 3 copies of this message, except tech-

No, but as an end user, I can tell you I'd certainly rather have the  
choice. This seems to be the migration path for most other apps.  So  
it's up to the pkgsrc hackers.

I'm sure not all platforms would like to jump into GTK2.  It's less  
mature, and more bloated (although on i386 we absorb the damanage to  
get the features)

Also we're talking about Mozilla *1.4* using GTK2 - not so spiffy - 1.5  
is a not nicer.

Against my better judgement,  I opened a PR on this so that our work  
doesnt go to waste.  It's pkg/non-crit/low/change-request pkg/23222

There are some other lingering Galeon related PRs:

pkg/22240 [non-critical/medium]:
pkgsrc: Test for GTK fails, breaking builds of mozilla/galeon etc.

pkg/23043 [serious/low]:
galeon build fails with pkgsrc gcc3 on NetBSD 1.6.1_STABLE (-lgcc_s)
