glibconfig.h should be installed $(prefix)/lib/glib/include/glibconfig.h,
and programs that compile against glib should be able to tell the
exact location by using either of AM_PATH_GLIB() in configure.in or
`glib-config --cflags` in their Makefile.

in glib.h from the 1.2 distribution, GDestroyNotify is defined in line 750 as

typedef void            (*GDestroyNotify)       (gpointer       data);
