gdk_imlib questions

[Tor Lillqvist <tml iki fi>]

I hope this list isn't inappropriate for questions about gdk_imlib.

While looking through gdk_imlib while attempting to port it to Win32,
a few questions have come to my mind:

- In general, is it a good idea to try to isolate gdk_imlib from X11
  as much as possible? There are lots of stuff in it that's currently
  done with straight Xlib calls, even if GDK contains equivalent
  functionality. (Presumably this is because imlib is mostly older
  code, written before gdk had this functionality?)

- Is there a reason why gdk_imlib shouldn't use g_malloc and friends?

- Isn't there duplicated functionality in gdk_imlib and gdkrgb? (NIH?)
