A problem with this approach is that it will result in a situation where ports
which have not been marked with gdkpixbufextra but which need one of the extra
loaders will compile and be packaged successfully, but will only work when
another port which has gdkpixbufextra have been installed.  At the very least,
this change should be held back until all the possible ports have been studied
for the use of xpm's or other 'extra' loader usage.

Perhaps it would be best to simply make gdk-pixbuf2 depend upon the
gdk-pixbuf-extra port through an option that defaults to 'true'.

Meanwhile, wmdrawer has been broken.  It needs the xpm loader, but it now works
on my system since I have installed the -extra loaders through gkrellm2. 
However, the option gdkpixbuf2xlib has been renamed gdkpixbufxlib in the
wmdrawer port Makefile, but the Mk/Uses option has not been renamed, and so it
fails to build.
