 I don't know which port this bug belongs to, so I've included all of the
 possibilities.  I hope that's not bad etiquette.

 The ports py26-gtk, py27-gtk, py26-gobject, and py27-gobject do not
 install their .pc files (pygtk-2.0.pc and pygobject-2.0.pc) in
 /opt/local/lib/pkgconfig.  Instead, they leave the files in
 /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.*/lib/pkgconfig/.
 Shouldn't "port select --set python python2.7" copy the appropriate files
 to /opt/local/lib/pkgconfig?

 The problem may be that py25-gtk and py25-gobject install their .pc files
 directly into /opt/local/lib/pkgconfig, which means that port select can't
 install the py26 or py27 files without trashing the py25 files.

 Background: I develop and distribute software that uses pkg-config in its
 installation script, and works with python 2.5, 2.6, or 2.7.  I therefore
 have py25-gtk, py26-gtk, and py27-gtk all installed.  When I build the
 software locally it uses the python 2.5 version of pygtk-2.0.pc  and
 pygobject-2.0.pc no matter which python version I'm currently using.  This
 doesn't actually seem to cause a problem.  However, the build fails for
 users who  have never installed py25-gtk and py25-gobject, unless they
 explicitly set PKG_CONFIG_PATH.  I don't think this should be necessary.
