libegg is a "staging area" for testing functionality meant to land into
any of the platform libraries; it was mainly useful when GNOME used CVS
(which made branching a lot more complicated). nowadays I'd go with
branching the target library/libraries and then merge back the changes
when needed; or use a secondary repository (like git-svn) which works
locally and retains the whole history as well.
