There is no version of GEGL that matches a given version of GIMP. GEGL 
is a library with an API (currently somewhat unstable due to 
immatureness of the library, but this is beside the point) that is 
independent of GIMP. Distributing GEGL in GIMP would imply that GEGL can 
not be bugfixed as maintainted separately, and this is wrong.

Nothing prevents you from stepping up and becoming part of the GIMP 
folks so to speak and do Slackware packaging.
