Help with gimptool-2.99

[pixelmixer (mark sweeney)]

Here’s a bash script, it can point at a directory of C plugins to compile:

target_dir="$HOME/Code/plug-ins-C/plug-ins"

It includes files needed from the GIMP source build and my additional C files:

meson_config="/build/gimp/_build"
meson_intl="/build/gimp/libgimp"
pixelmixer="$HOME/Code/plug-ins-C/include"
pixelmixer_source="$HOME/Code/plug-ins-C/include/pixelmixer.c"

It uses the output of gimptool to provide the input to gcc, and also copies the binary to my flatpak version. SImplEs
