pkg-config v0.26 released

[Stuart Ambler]

Ok, maybe 'intimately' isn't the ideal word, but glib is used by Gnome, GIMP,
GTK, and at least the current version 2.29 has in it "main event loop" code
(http://developer.gnome.org/glib/2.29/glib-The-Main-Event-Loop.html), which sure
sounds like one the bases of a GUI.

http://developer.gnome.org/glib/2.28/glib-building.html says pkg-config is
needed to build glib.

A grep | sort | uniq for words starting with g in the pkg-config 0.26 source
code follows, slightly edited to remove things that didn't look like they were
part of glib, but I think it gives the idea.  Mainly what is used appears to be
strings, lists, and hash tables.  64 items in the list.  Those things are stuff
that's in a bunch of other languages but not C, perfectly reasonable to want and
use them, but why bring in a big and growing thing that has other purposes too,
like glib?  Do those things really need much maintenance at this point?  Aren't
the bugs worked out pretty well by now?

I looked just a little at the pkg-config code, and the use of glib appears to be
straightforward.

Best wishes, and thanks for all your good work, you who maintain pkg-config.
