Ok, it seems like we are interested in the glib data structures. At one
point, I believe Ronald said that the library didn't port to Cygwin. I
propose that we "rip out" the code we need from Glib. This will get us a
minimal implementation of the functions necessary. Then when we think we
need to update, I'll merge in the newest version.=20

I'll look into how coupled the ADT's in Glib are to other part's of Glib
that we are not interested in. Hopefully if we just get these data
structures, there will be nothing to port ( no OS related code ).
