hmm.  For internal errors something like, g_warning is probably the
best bet.  The io_context is better suited to high level user
visible problems.

A full patch is probably the best bet.  We can't put this in until
things branch but when it does go in things like configure.in
support and such are important to keeping the rest of the tree
building.

Does pxlib use pkg-config ?  That would be ideal.
