Will pull in all required libraries to build your distros gimp packages. 
Removing babl and gegl is optional, but probably necessary in your case 
because:

This will install to /usr/local, and can lead to conflicts with the 
libraries and gimp installed by your package management. You should pass 
a --prefix parameter to ./autogen.sh

Have a look at http://www.gimp.org/source/howtos/gimp-git-build.html for 
a different approach.
