[RFC] Use glib-2.0 exclusively

| I've been working on a branch to make pkg-config use glib2 exclusively.
| I posted it on fd.o if anyone wants to have a go.
| 
|   git://anongit.freedesktop.org/~dbn/pkg-config glib2

Thanks a lot for your work on this, it's very much appreciated.

| There are two big features in this work:
| 
|  * Bundle glib2 instead of glib1 since glib1 is dead and we can make use
|    of glib2 API.
|  * Replace popt usage with glib2 and drop popt from pkg-config.

Do we really need to bundle glib any longer?  Sure, removing it
introduces a circular build-dependency, but one which is hardly hard to
work around by setting two environment variables when building
pkg-config (heck, we could make it a switch passed to configure, so
you'd just go --with-glib=/usr and it'd use /usr/lib/glib.so and
/usr/include/glib-2.0, defaults that'll work for almost everybody).

(I just came back from vacation, so sorry for the somewhat late reply.)
