Has packages of GLib-2.0 that work with mingw. Handling
win32 is really something new with GLib-2.0, so you
are unlikely to find a version of 1.2 that meets your
needs.

(There was some win32 support in GLib-1.2 but it was
far from complete.)

Almost everything that compiled against GLib-1.2 will
compile against glib-2.0 with no changes.
