Mono? Are you kidding? You want pure C application talking to a C#
backend? You've just made my day :)

Well, of course there is a C++ VIGRA that is somewhat similar to GEGL
and is already used in some projects like Scribus and Hugin, but those
are written in C++, and general idea would be using same language for
"backend" (or, rather, libraries) and "frontend", though an alliance
of C libs and C++ frontend is known to work in gazillion cases. But
not the other way round.
