drochner 81b83ae1d5 add gdk-pixbuf2-2.22.0
gdk-pixbuf was integrated into gtk2 a while ago, but was split out
again now. gdk-pixbuf2 can coexist with gdk-pixbuf1.
This pkg conflicts with the current gtk2 pkg, but since it will be
low in the dependency tree once deployed it would be good to see
bulk build results before gtk2 is updated to 2.22 which will require it.

GdkPixbuf is a new GNOME library designed to solve part of Imlib's
design limitations that make it hard to write efficient and highly
modular applications. The GdkPixbuf library provides a basic,
reference counted structure called GdkPixbuf. This structure points
to a block of image data, has fields that describe the format of the
image data, and also contains a reference count. The library also
provides a simple mechanism for loading images from files, and a more
sophisticated mechanism for loading images progressively from
arbitrary buffers. It also provides utility functions to transform
pixbufs and render them to GDK drawables.
The GdkPixBuf library provides a number of features:
* Image loading facilities.
* Rendering of a GdkPixBuf into various formats:
drawables (windows, pixmaps), GdkRGB buffers.
This is the gtk 2 version of gdk-pixbuf. It got
included natively in gtk2+ and was split out again in revision 2.22.
