Glib version check patch attached.

I'm not interested in backporting MC to Debian Squeeze. I'm building MC
packages for Debian/Ubuntu actual releases (see
https://www.midnight-commander.org/wiki/Binaries) and Squeeze in this
list due to Debian Squeeze LTS.

If support "cost" for Debian Squeeze is going higher (higher than cost
of electricity which buildbot spend to build package) then I will drop
support for Debian Squeeze.
