With 4 times the same link, it's not surprising that it was considered
as spam.

Note that gnome-games plus its deps means 7 repos:
- gnome-games
- retro-gobject
- retro-gtk
- retro-plugins-game-boy
- retro-plugins-nes
- retro-plugins-snes
- retro-plugins-pce

To be honest everything could be developed in the same repo.
retro-gobject and retro-gtk don't have a guaranteed stable API and are
used only by gnome-games. So those two repos could be two directories
inside gnome-games. Once the API is stable and the code is useful for
other projects, then the code can be moved to a proper shared library.

And the plugins can be developed inside gnome-games too, like it is done
in gedit for example.

What do you think Adrien?
