You're right, I wasn't quite clear about what I meant.
I was thinking of a makefile.common so when you changed the gtk source
version in pkgsrc, the gtk-demo package would automatically be pointing
at the new gtk sources. Basically I wanted to avoid people updating
what version of gtk we have in pkgsrc and not updating what version of
gtk-demo we have in pkgsrc.
