ebuilds generally don't do this, because it is bad. What you have and
what you want aren't necessarily the same thing. Consider:
* You don't yet have any gtk installed
* You have gtk2 but actually *want* the gtk3 version, so you want
the ebuild to pull in gtk3 (or vice versa)
* You have both gtk2 and gtk3 installed.
* You have gtk installed, but don't want gtk support for a
particular package (if gtk support is optional for that
package).
