I used "GLib and GTK+" after actually writing "the GNOME core
platform" (you can still see a stray 'the', there) because I didn't
want to make this about GNOME at all (since we're talking about
portability on MacOS). I did want to include GStreamer, as well as
other G* libraries — so I guess I'll have to find a way to say "the
core GNOME platform libraries" without mentioning "GNOME". ;-)

GLib has many masters, though, and even if GStreamer does not use the
GNotification API, said API is still there. The issue of future
features that may require bumping up the minimum requirements of the
OS still stands as well.

I apologize, that wasn't my intention at all.

Ciao,
 Emmanuele.
