Yep.. as you said, slooow (esp for anim), but works. Nice!
introspect is rather interesting. I look forward to coding some of the 
needed Ops when the system is stable enough in that area. GEGL is a lot 
closer to the model that feels natural to me for making images. 

Btw, on my machine I almost always use --prefix=/usr, so that was 
/usr/lib/babl-0.0/ -- I'm wondering if there is some dogma unknowingly 
included that assumes /usr/local. dlopen() usage seems pretty simple; I 
haven't compared babl's usage with glib's, but normally these things work 
(ie. Gimp colorselector modules and display filters load OK.) 

Then again, for GIMP I have to explicitly specify --enable-shared, so 
perhaps there *is* something dodgy with my system.
