Yeah, but in the case of {gtk,glib}11-devel it didnt work, because e.g
libglib.so.2 refers to any of at least 5 or 6 versions, at least some of which
are mutually incompatible. If someone has installed .so.x (1.1.12) and their
port expects .so.x (1.1.16) the dependency check will pass but the configure
script won't.
