 Great Ali, if you know C aswell you can make a difference. Please have
a look yourself at supporting both glib 1.2 and 2.0.

 Please don't be easily offended. I read Pavels message as a standard
statement of objectives.

 It would be a problem for AIX/msdos/OS2/whatever-ports with an extra
requirement on pkgconfig so porting mc to glib 2.0 would perhaps not be
such a good idea but I'm all for adding support for glib 2.0 if it
doesn't mangle the source too much.
