I tried the same back in 2015 while coding the focm.c contest module.

At that time 2.40 was just out for some months but not widely in use.
So I had to fall back to g_hash_table_replace with key and value the
same (see there). 

In meantime nearly all distributions should provide an more actual
version of GLib.

If we need 2.40 we should state so in the configure.ac.
