Are you sure you need json-glib ?

I just cloned https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp.git a few minutes
ago.  I cani't run ./autogen.sh (don't have gtk-doc, and no intention
of installing that source of pain), but grepping for json-glib only
finds:

ken@origin /scratch/ken/git/gimp $find -type f | xargs grep json-glib 
./build/windows/jhbuild/gimp.moduleset:         <dep package="json-glib"/>
./build/windows/jhbuild/misclibs.moduleset:<autotools id="json-glib" autogen-sh="configure">
./build/windows/jhbuild/misclibs.moduleset:                     module="json-glib/1.2/json-glib-1.2.2.tar.xz"
./build/docker/gimpbuilder-base/Dockerfile:RUN apt-get install $APT_GET_OPTIONS intltool libglib2.0-dev 
libjson-c-dev libjson-glib-dev libgexiv2-dev libcairo2-dev libpango1.0-dev libjpeg62-turbo-dev 
libsuitesparse-dev libspiro-dev libopenexr-dev libwebp-dev

which suggests that only docker and windows need it.  And grepping
for JSON in capitals finds some perl modules in a git hook, and
JSON_C_LIBS references in the Makefile.am files under app/ - json-c
(0.12.1) is again referenced in windows and docker files.
