Another alternative is to make sure that there's some way to include all the
stuff that pixops needs without also including gdk-pixbuf-enums.h. A tiny
bit of splitting up of gdk-pixbuf.h would do the trick.

This fix wouldn't require any build hacks.

Who's going to fix this? I would do it myself, but the frustration caused by
the "make fix, create patch, wait for commit approval" process combined with
my limited time budget for gnome work makes me hesitate to do so unless one
of the gtk maintainers specifically encourages me to.
