Tbh, I think it would be good to start out by reevaluating the
rationale for this library. Do we really need it anymore ? What data
does g-s-m get from it ? For storage-related data, gio has probably
encroached into the territory already. For other data, libgtop is
mostly a thin wrapper of /proc, iirc.

I could be wrong, of course.
