Earlier (July?), we'd identified packages dependent on FLTK, and some people were going to look at compiling against 1.3 and work with upstream for any porting issues, as 1.3 seems to be the official direction now.  There are not that many FLTK packages in pkgsrc.  I don't know where we are in that effort, though.  Obviously, you've worked through Dillo, which was the big one (IMHO).
