gdk-pixbuf-2.44.5 update has broken XPM and XBM

Description

The new gdk-pixbuf release always attempts to load XPM and XBM via glycin (even if -D others=enabled), but the XPM and XBM loaders are only available with glycin-2.1 which is still beta.

Some possible solutions:

  • Downgrade to 2.44.4.
  • Hack the code to prevent it from using glycin for XPM and XBM.
  • Backport the XPM and XBM patch for glycin-2.0.
  • Use glycin-2.1 beta (????)
  • Ignore the issue (IIRC at least Doug really has some programs requiring to load XPM/XBM via gdk-pixbuf ????)

Backporting the XPM and XBM support is much easier than I expected so I'll do it.
