  * create gimpstyle.pod
  
important issues

  * migrate BOOT: into INIT()
  * gimp_progress_done, gimp_progress_close
  * maybe implement --enable-perl=runtime-only?
[KILL]  * --ui and --noui for Gimp::Fu
  * pdb_proc_renameto
  * gimp_default_display (...) for libgimp
  * Gimp::Module for modules (!)
  * PerlCC configurable options for Perl-Server startup, Gipm_host etc.
  * implement CALLBACKS via the Perl-Server
  * PF_COORDS (just as Light Effects/FlareFX)
  * PF_PREVIEW(!)
  * change set_usize to something else..
  * Gimp::IO (?)
[KILL]  * Gimp::Fu import after Gimp? use Gimp::main for Gimp::Fu??
  * install scripts in share/
  * register dummy function to calm gimp down (really??)
  * gimp->object_id, drawable_object_id remove!
  * vamp up homepage
  * Gimp::ping
  * allow plug-ins to register with only a drawable argument(!)

[KILL]  * -DMIN_PERL_DEFINE
  * --function localfunc to select one of the registered scripts
[DONE]  * brush etc. buttons (maybe use gimp's interface, but only when local(?))
  * create working progress when Net and $verbose
[KILL]  * require Storable soon(!)
  * Gimp::Fu::command(?)
  * default parameters at end(!)
  * try to deduce default parameters

long term issues and ideas

  * rewrite interact() in pure C, gets rid of most gtk dependencies.
  * default function parameters (with hash %defaults?)
  * gimp_text(text => "hallo", family => "engraver", size => 20);
  
[DONE]  * do not know how to sensibly convert these => perl is NOT C.
