To me it's a no-brainer. We discussed whether to bundle glib2 in the
source and didn't really come to a conclusion. I personally feel like
we should take this minor maintenance burden to allow other packages
to use pkg-config without worrying about dependencies. Unfortunately,
the conversation fell off into whether pkg-config should be using glib
API at all. I don't think the people actually maintaining pkg-config
would want to drop glib usage, though.
