It was indeed gnutls needing it.  Presumably, though, something in
pkgsrc should have detected a version mismatch, rather than displaying
that rather strange error message displayed.  The dependency chain, as
I worked out after the fact, was

opencdk
gnutls
gnome-vfs2
libgtkhtml
claws-mail-gtkhtml2_viewer

where I'm working on claws-mail-gtkhtml2_viewer.  It wasn't a stale
work directory -- which I believe is what 'make clean-depends' removes
-- since I had deleted all work directories prior to doing a 'cvs
update' on pkgsrc.  Is there something I should/could put into my
package?  Should it be further upstream?
