gIDE is in flux right now, so it's actually not that
good timing wise to look at it right now. But if you
do, bonobo-gide is the branch on which all the
development happens.

The makefile stuff (actually the whole project
management) is to be replaced 'soon', with auto*
support (which it doesn't have yet). Inserting one
more lib shouldn't be a problem. As for launching
pong-edit that's easy since we've got a plugin
architecture.
