I have discussed gtk-engines with Owen some days ago, and we agreed
to move the pixbuf engine to gtk, and then "give gtk-engines free" 
to whoever wants to actively maintain it.

We will need a couple of days to get the necessary cvs surgery done, 
but it shouldn't be necessary to create another module for theme engines.
