Comment(by bonoba@…):

 Replying to [comment:18 ryandesign@…]:
 > Wouldn't we rather update atk to the latest version, than introduce a
 patch to use deprecated functions that the comment right above them says
 not to use?
 >
 > bonoba could you please attach a ''patch'' of your changes (not a
 complete portfile)?

 Ryan, the patch about the deprecated feature in glib is for a different
 issue: the current pango installs a header file that uses a deprecated
 symbol (G_CONST_RETURN) which is disabled in the current glib by default.
 Therefore at least two packages fail to build (poppler and gconf). So the
 patch tweaks the glib header gmacros.h in order to let those troubled
 packages build successfully. It is a "nasty hack" by all means and has
 nothing to do with the Portfile for atk-2.2 in this ticket.

 Perhaps somebody should file/find a bug for gconf and/or poppler and put
 the findings there (I won't).
