What is wrong with glib?
For one thing, it has the philosophy that memory allocators that abort the program if a memory allocation fails is OK. (This might have been fixed in recent versions of GLib, but unless we're willing to abandon GTK+ 1.2[.x] support and require GTK+/GLib 2.8[.x] or later, *and* the fix includes changing all GLib's data structures to use allocation APIs that don't abort the program if they fail, that doesn't help us.)
