When MacPorts 1.8 is final, it will automatically upgrade dependencies like
this one, so that shouldn't be an issue anymore.  Since we can't otherwise
depend on version-specific dependencies (eg, glib2 >= 2.16.0) this should be
the safest way to go.

Also note your MacPorts is a revision behind as 1.7.1 has been available
since late March...
