Hi,

sorry, but have you really looked at the code of the Module? I see a
pkgconfig line for every GTK Module in the FindPackage Module.

pkgconfig(glib-2.0 _GLIB2IncDir _GLIB2LinkDir _GLIB2LinkFlags _GLIB2Cflags)

If for whatever reason pkgconfig isn't install you can still find the
libraries and the headers.

pkg-config is fine to find the path for the libraries and the headers,
but it doesn't check if they really exists.
