As you noted, this is a glib issue. I wasn't planning
to do a GLib-2.0.8, though it isn't a bit deal .... but
before I do this, I'm curious about how building GLib
is out of the box on Windows? 

My experience in this regard was, hmm, painful; and 
so I'd expect that almost everybody is using Tor's 
prebuilt binaries. 

If that's still the case, then there may not be much 
point in doing release to just fix a tiny thing like
this.
