I think it was early in the 1.1 series, but it is never in 1.0.x and
always in 1.2.x, and people aren't supposed to be using 1.1.x now that 1.2
is out. 

(FWIW I wouldn't bother with 1.0, there are too many differences and it
will make your life hard. Just say "1.2 is required"...)

I think AM_PATH_GTK(1.2.0) would do the trick. It will also define the
variables GTK_CFLAGS and GTK_LIBS which you can use in your Makefile.am.
