Hmmmm... I might have to give that a try. As it turns out, perl was only
built as a requirement to build one of the other packages, not because it
was necessary to run any of the other packages, so I should just be able
to build glib, and then install the binary package of gtk+.
I see there's no package for dillo, nor is it in the pkgsrc tree... I
might have to try and compile it tonight.
