Hi,

for Patch 14 in your attachment,

>-;; In practice, GIR users will need libffi when using
>-;; gobject-introspection.

Why was this comment removed?  Is it not true anymore?

>-    ; Some bits are distributed under the LGPL2+, others under the GPL2+

Why was this comment removed?  Is it now under GPL2+ entirely?

For patch 15, was zlib always unnecessary?
Or has upstream removed functionality?
Or do we remove functionality?

Otherwise looks good.

Heads-up to everyone: If this patchset is reviewed, it will go to MASTER, as
was discussed here in this thread.  Btw: It has over 6000 dependents.
