Thanks for the advice.

Now, GTK3 package of 3.24.39 has been successfully built and packaged
in my environment with updating some other related packages.

So, firstly, I would like to take over following packages that are related
to GTK3.

fribidi 0.19.7 -> 1.0.13
libdatrie 0.28 -> 0.2.13
libthai 0.1.26 -> 0.1.29
pango1.0 1.40.14 -> 1.51.0
atk1.0 2.26.1 -> 2.38.0
gtk3 3.22.28 -> 3.24.39

will be next steps. I will try them one by one.

Please feel free to take it over. I'd withdraw from librsvg2.
