Hmm ... 

glib package(not ruby) includes glib, gmodule, gobject, gthread.

I think we do not need to implement glib.
Because almost of the functions will not use with Ruby.

But we need gobject and some other functions in glib package.
Especially GObject <-> Ruby conversion is very important part of 
Ruby-GNOME2.

At first, I thought separated 'glib' and 'gobject',
but it became to overdo, it was enough one library.
So I decided this to use here as glib package name.

And I think other utility functions which will be used whole of 
Ruby-GNOME2 define in Ruby/GLib.
It makes easy to implement Ruby/GTK and other library which support 
GType system.

But I read your comment, it may be better to separate 'glib', 
'gobject', and utilty functions ...

Any comments?
