Btw, I'm not in charge of any binary package, I merely (try to)
maintain the pkgsrc for gimp and gtk-1.0.

Gimp is a bitch as far as packaging it is concerned. There are some
problems I'm currently trying to figure out. Namely that _building_
gimp requires the script-fu plug-in to be _installed_! Like pulling
yourself out of the swamps by you own hair as once Munchhausen did.

Be aware that the 1.0.0-gimp will _not_ work with gtk 1.1, but
_requires_ gtk-1.0 (available as the package gtk10i). This conflicts
with gtk-1.1, and both should not be installed at the same time. There
is no clean solution to this dilemma that I can see.

If you have any suggestions for the above mentioned problems, your
input is highly welcome, as I don't have too much time myself to
figure them out.
