I'm not fully sure why, but I do know that there was a migration away
from the glist stuff, to osync_list code.  Most of the time it is a
wrapper around glibc, but some of the list code appears to be copied.

In general, the opensync code and plugins should be using osync_list
functions, where possible.  But if your code is independent from
opensync, you're free to use glist.  Some opensync calls return
OSyncList objects, and they should be freed with osync_list_free().

Daniel: do you have some historical reasons to explain the above?
