There is nothing about glib in 0.10.1 sources. The ChangeLog is not clear,
it just says something was removed regarding glib. I don't think we should
support 0.9.0 if it is different from 0.10.1, but if it has fribidi-config
it should say "yes" when I replace the detection mechanism.

  fribidi-config --cflags --libs
  glib-config --cflags --libs  # this is not needed, just for comparision

This is because HAVE_FRIBIDI is not really used yet anywhere.
Olivier, you may do it before me if you like. I am busy with perl now. :)
