Hi,

Recently, GIMP got it's first development version based on gegl.

Now, gegl has 13 optional dependencies that could be use-flagged. The pity is, 
it has no configure-option for most of them, they are autodetected.
(It's about gtk, ruby, lua, cairo, pango, libpng, openexr, rsvg, sdl, 
asciidoc, enscript, graphviz and ffmpeg)

My experience with the gimp developers in the past was that they weren't very 
pleased by bugs about automagic deps and I assume if I post them without 
patches, they'll get closed immediately. Now I always avoided to dig too deep 
into autotools, so I don't feel skilled enough for this task.

Is there some brave gentoo dev (or non-dev, doesn't really matter) 
volunteering to send patches to gegl-upstream?


Beside, I'm asking myself how to handle this situation. Hard-enable them all 
as long as there are no patches? Let the automagic go in the tree? Opinions 
welcome.
