Btw, I've already broken the glib API in master, so if you plan to change
the api too, it would be nice to do it now, at the beginning of the release
cycle. I wouldn't like to change the api for every 0.15.x release,
although I'll probably have to do it again at some point, so if it's too
late for 0.15.0 let's try to do all the changes for 0.15.1.
