gimp-1.2 is dying; so stuff depping on 1.2 also dies; aka this pkg.

Adding treecleaners@g.o to mask and remove this package.
x11-themes/zinf-themes will need to go too. I already talked to HumpBack
about it.... his words in #gentoo-dev "KILL KILL KILL".

Reasons: The package doesn't compile, there isn't a stable x86 version
ported to modular-x, it crashes for some people, it has no ebuild
maintainer, no one from sound team has stepped up to fix zinf, no
release since 2004, the stuff in cvs doesn't work (autogen fails), and
it has an exec stack QA warning on x86. Also, other packages offer the
same look & feel and functionality (xmms, audacious, bmpx, ...).

zinf-themes lacks a bug; I will get to it shortly.
