Yeah, you are right.  I thought it must be a new dep for gimp
itself.  And I didn't remember using it.  But now that I look at my
scripts I can see that it is GEGL which needs it.

So for Elle, the version is whatever your GEGL needs.  A quick look
at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gegl/blob/master/configure.ac
suggests json-glib-1.0 which both json-glib-1.2 and -1.4 (and
probably even -1.0) provided.
