I don't think we can implement all the feat= ures without some major hacks. That's why using glib seems like a good i= dea because it does all it can do to support that broken api.

Maybe we can copy the necessa= ry parts from glib if we really care enough about supporting non-free sof= tware. Regards R=C3=BCdiger
