none that I see.  as maintainers have already began looking at
GtkUnique, shipping it as a external/desktop dependency and later
deprecate it during the 2.20 cycle while we add it to GTK+ might be the
right choice.  otherwise, kindly ask the maintainers to delay dependency
for the next cycle and get GtkUnique inside GTK+, if nobody wants to
depend on a small library.

I've opened a bug for integration inside GTK+[1], and this weekend will
work on a patch to let the ball roll.

ciao,
Emmanuele.
