For the record, I just checked current code and actual minimum dep
(relatively to the functions I use from this lib) would be 0.6.7.
I could set a lower value, but really the development is barely started on
this feature, I will use more API soon so it may go back up soon anyway,
and I'm not sure if it is worth just going back and forth on dependency
versions.

Note that I originally chose this version 0.7.7 by looking at Debian
Testing, which is our base for deciding whether a version can a requirement
in the development GIMP.
Also this is development code. It is expected to get bumpy. We even
realized this dependency has problems to build on Windows, but it's ok. We
are confident that this will improve. This is not the first time (and won't
be the last) that we improve projects by using them, and in particular that
we make them going cross-platform. :-)
