I'm not overly bothered by what glib 2.1 depends on, because I can
always compile quintuple-agent with glib 1.2, which doesn't have
external dependencies.

Now, if a future version of glib were to become radically more
complicated in the affected areas, *and* quintuple-agent were to
require the use of that version, that would be a problem. "It could be
changed in the future so that it sucks" isn't very interesting though.
