Hi,

another thought:

Do we really need libgthread-2.0 for the gimp-plugin-registry?  If not,
to me it's better to remove it by  the patch 'g_thread_init' function to
fix FTBFS or so but for now I prefer the solution I mentioned.

The question is: What is the author's intention? Are dependencies of
certain code really required? IMHO as a packager I have to do anything
for building the package without remove source code via patch or making
workarounds.

In this special case the author's intention is: I need  g_thread_init.
Basta! Therefore it has to be the packagers intension to look for errors
in the surrounding build system, i.e. Gnu Autotools.

OMG! What an English. Excuse me, I'm a German.

Cheers

Otto
