Retinex plug-in. need help!

Hello all, I am currently rushing a small Retinex demonstration to be done in Cinepaint over the weekend.

I intend to compile it on the cinepaint 0.21.1 platform. Yes i am aware about Glasgow but I doubt i have time to grasp it over the weekend not to mention deal with build that might turn out to be unstable? I plan to port over the exisiting Retinex implementation in GIMP over to 0.21.1

I guess i might have to remove some dependencies relating to GTK2 for as far as i know 0.21.1 does not support that. 0.21.2 unfortunately does not work on my system due to a missing OpenGL library and unless its worthwhile downloading the GLUT and going through configuration hell... i think i'll give it a miss...

can anyone help me point me in the right direction here. right now i seem to have a problem in implementing a preview in the dialog box and there seems to be alot of errors with g_try_malloc. in fact im thinking of porting the ORIGINAL gretinex code done by Fabien Pelisson. help!

i hope that the plug-in could be developed over the weekend and eventually released to the cinepaint community. thanks!
