I am not a GLib expert, but on my system, I have both `glib.pc' and
`glib-2.0.pc' in `/usr/lib/pkgconfig'.  Of course, they are different
(i.e., the former actually describes GLib 1.2) but according to my
G-Wrap's `config.log', it chose GLib 1.2 at configure-time and
everything worked fine.  This means, I guess, that G-Wrap may be built
with either 1.2 or 2.x.

Maybe more and more people now have only GLib 2 installed, so it would
make sense to apply your patch for this very reason.  Or to augment your
patch in order to keep supporting both versions.

Andreas?

Thanks,
Ludovic.
