I had the same thought, and eventually ended with the same conclusion:
different repos.
I actually started some Qt stuff but realized I get enough of that in
my day-job. So GTK first, then we'll see.

Ãyvind: please give your explicit OK to the relisencing.

I now have a repo with the code split out. The .pc files need a bit of
love, after that it is ready for the first push. I will need someone
else to add the gegl-gtk bugzilla component though, but that is
secondary.
