The 2.0.0 in the path is expanded from the GTK_BINARY_AGE variable in 
the Makefile, which for gtk x.y.z is defined as:
 x.y.(z - interface_age)

Since gtk 2.0.1 didn't add any interfaces (just bug fixes), it has an 
interface age of 1 (2.0.0 had an interface age of 0).  So it's modules 
are in the same directory as 2.0.0's.  The same will most likely be true 
of all 2.0.x releases of gtk.
