Yes, but at the moment, are there tarballs I can tell my users to go and
download, with some kind of ABI guarantee?

If the lib is still changing a lot it seems wiser for now to do a
libegg-style approach and have a local copy inside my app's source tree,
and to declare the ABI as stable at some point when we make it external.

Currently I have no external dependencies apart from ones that come as
standard with Gnome 2.0, and I want to minimise the pain of adding new
ones.
