Comment(by ryandesign@…):

 Replying to [comment:3 ryandesign@…]:
 > I'd appreciate some guidance on why this option was added to pkgconfig
 in the first place, and if that reason still applies.

 Looks like the option was added in r12236 to "Fix the problem where the
 configure scripts for GTK2 apps wasn't finding GTK2 even though it was
 installed." I do not know if this reason still applies.

 Separately, I have received email from Jeremy Huddleston, saying any port
 that needs this option is broken and the problem should be fixed in that
 port, and that sounds reasonable.

 Now it just remains to decide whether I simply remove the flag and revbump
 pkgconfig, similar to what was done in r12236 to add it, or whether I need
 to also revbump all ports that use pkgconfig.
