Wow - those are two loooong threads.  I don't mind adding to the bug 
report Murray - but to be honest, it looks like people are already 
getting jaded after 4 year's worth of debate there  :-(

Basically...  somebody has removed some glib functions without thinking 
about the knock-on effect it would have for glibmm.  In Win32 they were 
essentially 'placeholders' but they were still needed, if only to ensure 
that glibmm would compile.  And I guess there could be ramifications too 
for anyone writing a cross-platform app.

So what needs to happen here?  Do the placeholder functions need to get 
put back?  Or does somebody need to flag this up to the glibmm team so 
they can accommodate the change at their end?  Thanks.
