You want -pkg:gtk-sharp-2.0.  gtk-sharp is Gtk# 1.0, which is (1)
_ancient_, and (2) only targets GTK+ 2.2 (before the new-and-improved
file selection dialog).  gtk-sharp-2.0 is Gtk# 2.4/2.6/2.8/etc., which
binds the identically named GTK+ version.

`pkg-config --version` gives the version of pkg-config, not the version
of the specified package.  If --version is specified, just like --help,
all other parameters are ignored.
