I did read it.  Why did you think I did not?

$ cd /var/db/pkg
$ find . | grep -i "gtk\+.*ebuild$"
./x11-libs/gtk+-1.2.10-r4/gtk+-1.2.10-r4.ebuild
$ find . | grep -i "libxml.*ebuild$"
./dev-libs/libxml2-2.4.1/libxml2-2.4.1.ebuild
./dev-libs/libxml-1.8.16/libxml-1.8.16.ebuild
$ find . | grep -i "pixbuf.*ebuild$"

Uh, it looks like gtkhtml is masked, and I don't feel like merging a masked 
package, because it was probably masked for a good reason.  Plus, pan's site 
doesn't require it.
