Yesterday, we upgraded our FreeBSD build host (the one running Tinderbox)
to FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE. The tree currently doesn't build, just in the way
Mike pointed out (popen problems in the PS printing). I'll try to find some
time today to get the FreeBSD tree building again. I remember someone pointed
out the AbiWord port has the relavent patches.

Yes, gtk+ requires glib, and we require gtk+. The port of gtk+ knows
this requirement and installs glib.
