Gimp-2.2.17 Missing

[Yves de Champlain]

Well, I have been using the unstable branch for many months now and  
not only does it work very well, but it also fixes some problems  
present in the stable branch.

Now, unstable does not necessarily  mean crashy or buggy.  It means  
that such things can (and probably will) happen, which is why I won't  
be upgrading gimp2 as fast as gimp-dev (gimp-dev is already at at  
2.3.19).

However, if anyone experiences problems with that, I'll probably  
revert to stable, but I did the move after users reported problems in  
the stable branch that I was not experiencing with 2.3.x.
