Common impression, but it's not really accurate. The vast majority of
that stuff was to get the
entirely-independent-why-is-this-shipped-in-the-same-package gtk
passphrase input box to compile. The *important* stuff only depends on
glib, which is actually fairly small in its own right - it's mostly
data structure crap (and no transitive dependencies of note).
The significant code in quintuple-agent comes in at slightly over 1k
lines physical, or slightly under by SLOC. The only significant thing
used by that code from glib is the hashtable implementation.
