IIRC, there are projects like BlueZ which have also glib dependency, they ship 
optional something called "eglib" which is a small subset of glib which they 
use. We actually could also strip down our use of glib or also use 
this "eglib". Don't you use use BlueZ on Qtopia?

libxml - that's might be true. Maybe it's worth to look at libexpat to make 
libsyncml (and OpenSync) more attractive for embedded devices. wbxml2 already 
has a dependency on libexpat, and wbxml is quite nice if it comes to 
Bluetooth or IrDA ;)
