it looks like there is a quarel here between different views. one of
those that deal with GPLed software, or are linux-centric, for which glib
is a natural extention, as it has the right license, and now comes with
the major linux distributions. the other - of people that have to deal
with unsupported OSes, or with limitations of management as to what
software may be used, or those that simply don't want to have to
distribute yet more components with their software.
if you can live with using glib - go right ahead and use it. if various
restrictions don't allow you to use it - then don't.
btw, last time i tried compiling glib on a solaris 2.5.1 system -
compilation failed (and few minutes of looking for the problem did not
suffice to fix it).

does it run on LynxOS? Psos? Vxworks? OS/390 open edition?
