Why are you including modules that are maintained externally anyway?

If you find bugs in clearlooks, are you fixing them in gtk-engines or
are you feeding them to the official maintainers?  If you are fixing
them locally, how are you resolving conflicts when merging later on?

It seems like it would remove all these synchronisation problems if
gtk-engines only contained engines that were maintained within
gtk-engines.  Including a theme whose engine is not in gtk-engines isn't
really a bad thing.
