fltk is ancient, fltk13 is the stable and fltk2 is active development 
branch.

I recently run into issues while bootstrapping my work environment with
MacOS X 10.8 with x11/fltk and fixed the math/pari to require fltk13
instead of fltk which works fine with minor fixes to fltk13 (one which
could be sent upstream, one which prevents it to create .app bundles -
which is not wanted for pkgsrc).

When fossil is running on my NetBSD box I can start merging my changes
into CVS after tested them working fine on NetBSD ;)

I can combine that, I think. Not instant, but as soon as I get the "Go"
from joerg@ (I hope around weekend).
