Note that these versions are required by gimp-2.10, but I believe one
or both is/are not the current versions.  The links to both the
brushes and the lib are "duplicated" from gimp because for the
brushes, the dependency is runtime, whereas for gimp they are both
needed at compile time.

What needs MyPaint, or what do you use it for, and is it anything
more than a straight CMMI or CMake or Meson build (i.e. something
that users can build without major problems) ?  In other words -
what would be the benefit of adding it to the book (and perhaps
duplicating the brushes and the lib) ?
