Something occurred to me this morning...

AFAIK those particular exe's are the only two which require Glib. My 
copy of VS2015 is running on a different machine from VS2005.

So is it possible that for the VS2015 build, the Glib dependency simply 
isn't getting found (and that's why those two particular exe's get skipped?)

If so, how does Glib get detected?  Does meson try to locate the Glib 
libraries?  Or the header files maybe?  Or both?

(or do I need to be asking this question on a Meson forum..?)
