Well, HildonColorChooser and GtkColorSelection already have totally
different API. So I wouldn't even know which one of them to emulate.
Also Hildon and Gtk will still be around, so we can't develop a drop-in
replacement because the namespace is already taken. Therefore I think we
can go with our own API.

Other opinions?
