So, gdk-pixbuf 2.31.2 changed its interface, and then perl-Gtk3
0.019 adjusted to it. But then those interface changes were reverted
in gdk-pixbuf 2.31.3 (because they broke bindings too much,
apparently). Still, current perl-Gtk3 treats > 2.31.2 the same way as
2.31.2, which explains the breakage I'm seeing with gdk-pixbuf 2.31.4.

I've expanded on what was done in perl-Gtk3 0.019, and turned
gdk-pixbuf 2.31.2 into a special case: everything strictly older or
strictly newer will use the old method names. This fixes the test
suite for me on current master (0.021).

Please pull from the bugfix/support_gdk-pixbuf_2.31.3 branch in the
git://anonscm.debian.org/pkg-perl/packages/libgtk3-perl.git repo.

FYI I'm going to upload to Debian with this patch applied.

Cheers,
