-* Deteplification:
-   - The tepl maintainer has "frozen" the project until further notice
-   - Moving things to tepl introduced some breakage, such as translation of the
-     default filename
-   - gedit didn't use much of the API anyway
-   - Used even less of amtk
-   - Revert all usage of amtk and tepl
-   - Unfortunatly a couple bug fixes may have been lost
-   - Plugin API is essentially reverted to 3.36
