Hrmm, the two things that come to mind as solutions are:

1) subclass gdk-pixbuf.  But I don't know how easy that is to do, as
   I'm not used to thinking about C as an object oriented language (I
   have done nothing with gtk and gdk up untill now).

2) add this functionality to gdk-pixbuf. It's really not that much
   code.

Writing another library seems like a reinvention of the wheel.
