 of all of the ports in port outdated ... most people also don't expect
 port to install non-functional versions of ports. In this case, in order
 to install the newest version of pkgconfig, it had to install glib2.

 Of course.  I'm merely pointing out that 'glib2' should be listed as a
 port that will be installed.  Users don't want surprises to suddenly show
 up.
