Good news, everybody: many gnome-related ports where bumped to versions high enough to build babl, gegl and gimp in their latest versions.

I suppose gimp 2.8 in port is near, but the impatient can more safely use the updated makefiles I updated a while ago :

Disclaimer : you still have to revert to gimp 2.6 before tasks like portmaster -r if they impact babl/gegl/gimp, as older gimp do not build with older babl/gegl
