I would love to help, esp. with documentation as I learn about GIMP. But 
I'm unable to install 2.5.4.

I got babl and gegl from svn repo
babl]$ ./autogen.sh says
I am going to run ./configure with the following arguments:

  --enable-maintainer-mode
  ...
  Now type 'make' to compile BABL.
  $ make
  -- completes with no further issues
  # make install

  # ldconfig                  <to reconfigure the libraries>
  # ldconfig -p | grep babl

gegl]$ ./autogen.sh balks at babl:
<quote>
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for BABL... configure: error: Package requirements (babl >= 
0.0.22) were not met:

No package 'babl' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Given the standard library structure above, why doesn't gegl autogen 
find babl?
