Cygwin64 provides the package mingw-w64-x86_64-glib2.0 containing glib 
2.54.3-1


After your push in this direction I rebuilt spice and qemu with Msys2 
which provides the package mingw-w64-x86_64-glib2 containing glib 2.66.7-1


Using current virt-viewer instead of outdated spicy-client provided by 
cygwin64 qemu enabled spice on windows 10 host works like a charm.


Thanks for your help,
