The gegl binary found in the gegl/bin/gegl.c does just this, it can
even be compiled without support for the GTK+ GUI which makes almost
all the logic of processing happen in gegl.c, please do note that the
format of the XML is not a finalized part of the interface to GEGL,
and that there are some parts that are not even implemented yet. (The
ability to specify a operation as a graph, stored as XML for instance,
right now such meta operations need to be written directly in C which
is a bit cumbersome for rapid prototyping.)

I do not understand what you mean by this question. It might also be
an idea to take this discussion to the GEGL mailing list instead of
continuing it here.
