Re: Spyrogimp plugin rewrite

Hi Elad,

Sorry for the delay before inclusion. I must admit I completely forgot
(just while doing something else tonight, I suddenly remembered this
proposal for an updated Spyrogimp!).

So I took some time tonight to review again, then finally pushed your
plug-in.
I just did some trailing whitespace cleaning, and also simply renamed it to
"plug-in-spyrogimp", basically dropping the "Plus" part. I understand that
the "plus" was about saying it is another more advanced plug-in, but I
prefer to think of it as just a new version of the same plug-in (even
though a total rewrite), so that we can later on just drop the old version
(maybe when moving to GIMP 3?). When this happens, if there is only one
plug-in and it is named "plus", it makes not much sense. I guess. :-)

Anyway here is the commit for the initial code you provided, as-is:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/commit/a702c6a3270485e1320521c89499e1b3270477d4
And here my commit with the slight changes:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/commit/e91028df2f9669fe2d98f05a969692695a62003f

I hope you will stay around for any fixes which might be needed later on.
:-)
Do you have a GNOME gitlab account?
