GEGL tries to keep single source file ops without external
dependencies in common and ones depending on external libraries in
external/ . Keeping each operation in one file is preferred - since it
keeps the build system simpler to maintain and naviagate. Maybe having
everything in the .c single file with enums and forward declarations
for the data early and the data after the operation code?
