Is dragged in by GLib if that is new enough (the lowest version I'm testing 
is Glib-2.10.3 on Ubuntu Dapper (6.06).

How hard would it be for you to update to Glib-2.10 (no need to do an

That cobination is what was available for e.g. "Nokia 770 OS2006" and looks 
like a reasonable minimal requirement.
