GTK has high level GUI widgets, GDK is the lower level event and graphics
layer, and glib is the really low level stuff.

glib is mainly a library used for portability (such as a cross platform
libdl interface or platform independent fixed-size types) and can be used
w/o having to bring in all the code used for a graphical interface.

Obviously, qemu will always have a glibc-build-time-dependency, and it will
also have glibc as a run time dependency (unless it is staticly linked like
qemu-fast was).
