Paolo,

Since you're rewriting everything anyway... can we replace gdk-pixbuf, 
and move to gegl or something similar (vips, for instance)?

gdk-pixbuf only supports 8-bit rgb, which is inadequate for raw images 
and newer formats (jpeg2000, even some tiff files).

It would also be nice to use the tiling features of these libraries, to 
allow viewing of huge images without loading every single pixel into memory.

Just a suggestion...
