Indeed — this change set is kind of sad.
Because I still admire the design of the GAVL library,
and would love to use it for processing of raw video.
However, up to now, we never got to the point of actually
doing so. For the future, I am not sure if there remains
room to rely on lib-GAVL, since FFmpeg roughly covers
a similar ground (and a lot beyond that). And providing
a plug-in for FFmpeg is unavoidable, practically speaking.
So I still retain the nominal dependency on lib-GAVL
in the Build system (since it is still packaged in Debian).
But it is pointless to rely on this library just for an
external type-def `gavl_time_t`. We owe much to this
inspiration, but it can be expected that we'll wrap
these raw time-values into a dedicated marker type
soon, and we certainly won't be exposing any C-style
interface for time calculations in future, since
we do not want anyone to side-step the Lumiera
time handling framework in favour of working
„just with plain numbers“
NOTE: lib-GAVL hompage has moved to Github:

GUI backbone tests The tests in this subtree are a bit special: they cover the generic and backbone internals of the Lumiera GTK GUI. They are linked against the complete GUI-module (gui plugin), and thus may use all related ABIs. Yet these tests are *deliberately* compiled without any GTK, GTKmm or SigC includes. This effectively rules out the use, even indirectly, of any GTK widgets and APIs -- forcing the covered GUI backbone entities to stay clean and generic at API level. This is a decision done on purpose. The concrete GUI framework technology shall be treated as an implementation detail. There is no point in writing tests which click buttons in the GUI -- better delegate any significant logic or functionality to GUI agnostic components. GUI is meant to be a presentation layer and must not develop intelligence on its own.
