Just meant to second Tor here, but from a Mac OS X support point of
view.  At the moment I don't know how well gobject-introspection works
on the Mac.  I don't have the resources to look into this in the near
future either.  It is possible to get glib, pango, gtk+ to build from
git master without having gobject-introspection built with some m4
file copying, but even this has caused numerous issues for people
building the gtk+ stack from git.  I guess the same holds in case glib
gets a hard dependency on dbus ...

To repeat Tor: not blaming anybody, but just stating the obvious ...
