you can simply make your applciation depend on glib 1.2.7 by putting:
  AM_PATH_GLIB(1.2.7,,
    AC_MSG_ERROR([
*** GLIB 1.2.7 or better is required. The latest version of GLIB
*** is always available from ftp://ftp.gtk.org/.]),
    gmodule gthread)
into your configure.in.

glib 1.3.x is nothing you should make an application depend upon,
as 1.3 is our new development branch. the new stable version coming
up will be 1.4, not to be expected before the summer. untill then
1.2.x is our stable version branch, recommended to develop against.
