It is intentional that Glib.pm does not use the ExtUtils modules, as they are
build-only requirements, i.e., they are not used at all at runtime, and in
fact do not need to be present if you install Gtk2-Perl from binary packages.

The Makefile.PL for Glib does indeed find whether EU::PkgConfig and
EU::Depends are installed, but for some reason the CPAN dependency magic has
recently stopped working.
