glib-2.0 doesn't come with a glib-config file. This is intentional
since glib and glib2 are different libraries that are not compatible.
So you simply cannot update glib-1.2 to glib-2.0. You can however
install both libraries in parallel and as soon as all applications
have been ported to use glib2, you may deinstall the old version.

For information on how to compile applications against glib2, see

http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-compiling.html

What is said there, applies to glib2 with minor modifications.
