If that's the case, you could replace
AM_PATH_GTK_2_0($GTK_REQUIRED,,exit 1,gthread)
with
PKG_CHECK_MODULES([GTK], [gtk+-2.0 >= $GTK_REQUIRED, gthread-2.0])
which is basically equivalent and should be upstreamable.
(AM_PATH_GTK_2_0 also does a test-build of some C code against GTK,
but that's basically unnecessary this decade, because pkg-config is
well-understood by now.)
