Is that really necessary?

Does GTK-3 break the backwards compatibility to GTK-2?

If not, we should instead make a decision on whether the GTK-3 "beta"
(i.e. >= 2.90.0) are usable or not.

Otherwise, we should rename both, i.e. gtk -> gtk2, and name the
new one gtk3. But I really hope this won't be necessary.
