Please do *NOT* link with GNOME. Many of us use gdk_imlib without GNOME.
Until the gtk+ devel is finished, Imlib is going to be broken.
Make sure you run lintian on the packages.
Also be aware that people will use either gdk_imlib or imlib and not install
both. So I should be able to install one or the other and have them behave.
This applies with the libs and the -dev packages. The packages as currently set
up allow this.
You may want to post the packages somewhere and allow the users of Imlib and
GDK_Imlib packages to test them.
