The program is called gtk-config.  To get the CFLAGS needed for
compiling, you run gtk-config --cflags, and to get the LDFLAGS needed
for linking, you run gtk-config --libs.

Note that there is a similar program, gnome-config, which has a
slightly more complicated usage, as you need to know which GNOME
libraries you are using.  Try typing gnome-config --help to see the
help information.
