thank you for the links - i will contact the GIMP/GEGL developers.

regarding the non-manual 'automatic' aspect about c2g : i love the fact of not
having to influence my picture manually (beside the run usual parameters but
they don't influence local contrast nuances that the algorithm auto-magicalty
works out).  it's like with the previously used b&w filters (green, yellow,
orange, blue etc) for b&w films : you did your shot, and that's it - there was
no way to adjust the local fine-grained contrast distribution, just globally
and/or manually(!).
