problem upgrading gtk2

[Joel Thibault (MacPorts)]

I also had this problem.  I tracked it down via port -d to a bad test for
gtkdoc-rebase, something like:

if `which gtkdoc-rebase` != "" then...

Since this returns "no gtkdoc-rebase in [my path]" rather than "", it then
attempts to execute gtkdoc-rebase, and fails.  It appeared to me to be an
optional step, so I did a silly hack to make it look like it did something:
I aliased /usr/bin/gtkdoc-rebase to /usr/bin/true, and then the upgrade
worked.

I don't think this makes for a very good solution :-) so someone who knows
Macports much better than me should probably take a look at this.
