It's true that I don't like the OOM handling in glib. I also think that
glib tries to be too many different things at the same time. And
finally, having some talloc-friendly data structures (like a hash-table)
would be really nice.
In the meantime, as you say, we're already linking with glib because of
GMime, so there's really no reason not to call functions that are there
and that do what we want. What kinds of things were you thinking of that
would be easier with glib?
