Is there any interest in including utility plug-ins with GIMP?
Hi,
I've been playing around with a C utility plug-in to speed up a Script-Fu tool. It'd be nice to have the C utility plug-in packaged with GIMP, it's good for other uses. There's probably lots of opportunities to add simple little plug-ins to assist scripting. Anyhow, script plug-ins that use these kind of speed ups will only work on Linux, as that's my platform. That wouldn't be an issue if they were included in GIMP.

I'm imagining a folder here perhaps;
/gimp-source/build/gimp/plug-ins/utility
Anyway, this particular utility fixes my issues;
