Hi Scott,

  Of course I am not the one to make _any_ decision as to whether this
would be a Good Thing (tm).

  My opinion is: if it's well documented, has a small faq about
installing the glib libraries in win32, and notes as to where it can be
gotten.  In other words... "Glib for dummies"

  The yeah or neah ultimately comes from Sandeep.
