Hey Adrian,
It sounds like a good idea, but it might not be the best thing right
now. Glib 2.12 was when those routines were added and right now
libglib-dev virtual package has libglib1.2-dev still as it's dependency
(at least for GNU users running Jaunty as far as I know). So I'm
thinking 2.x branch may not be considered stable yet. I'm also not sure
how available it will be on non-free platforms. It's probably there,
just one more thing to add complications to at build time. My patch
doesn't require us to change or add dependencies fortunately.
