You didn't answer my second question.

That's not a good enough answer.   Until now almost all code in libcsage and
the main sage library has been new code we've written -- except a few
exceptions,
where we greatly regretted them greatly and moved the code out later.
So from experience I'm very opposed to this code being in c_lib.

I vote -1 to this code going into sage unless:
   (1) it is put in a separate spkg, and
   (2) the process of extracting glib-min from the official glib
tarball is automated.
