I don't know enough to have an opinion in detail, but on general
principles I suggest that we fix our own code.  Depending on an
external package for little bits of Emacs is asking for trouble.  Our
code can have bugs, and the Glib code can have bugs, but if our
code has bugs, there is no obstacle to our using a fixed version.
