 Well, I guess the only reason gd-1.8.x port is remaind in
 ports tree is gd-2.0.x was unstable developmental version.
 At now. gd-2.0.15 is announced as stable release, 
 graphics/gd2 port should be retired immidiately and every
 ports depending on it have to switch dependency to
 graphics/gd.
 
 In addition, most ports actually require gd-1.8.x (or older)
 code have already been containing it as internal library.
 
 Furthermore, gd-1.8.x port and gd-2.0.x was not be able to
 co-exist safely. If there is still any paticular reason to
 remain gd-1.8.x port, we'll have to modify its library name
 etc.
