You have needs for a subset of glib. So does everyone else (I don't
believe there's a single person out there using all functions & features
in glib). If you break down glib in small pieces so everyone can link to
the combination of modules that brings the needed code into his app and
doesn't link to unneeded code, how much do you think dynamic library
overhead would be?
