I browsed things for a bit, and I think I know the problem I had back then. I 
totally missed the devel-docs directory. *DOH*. I had a look around now (in 
the past 5 minutes, I'm in the middle of exams here) and it's pretty good. 
What I miss though is a rather high-level overview, something along the lines 
of "Gimp consists of libgimp, which contains the drawing functions, gimpui, 
which is the user interface, ..... <insert pretty diagram> These are 
connected by ....". Having all the interface definitions is very good, but I 
think it would be handy if you could read how it's being used rather than how 
to use it.
