gdl stands for Gnome Development Library. It was created by Dave Camp for
holding commonly used widgets/utils etc in gIDE. Since then other
developers like myself and Gustavo Giraldez have added code to it. You
could compare it to eel or gal i guess.

At the moment, the most interesting thing gdl contains is GdlDock: a GTK+
based docking widget which allows you to dock/float items etc around your
main window (similar to the new gimpdock, but with more functionality).

GdlDock has been copied into the libegg module as EggDock (but the gdl
version has been updated since). There's a plan to put GdlDock into GTK+
at some point. There are no plans to put gdl in either the desktop or
development platform.
