I'm beginner in C programming but I can try to make something
useful in my branch. I checked out your branch and rebased it on
top of current master. Now I need to be able build my test
programs with modified glib, how can I do it?

Why not commit first and then migrate apps to GUri? Isn't it
usual way things changes in GTK/Glib?
