If it's a pain to install old libraries again, then the problem should be
reported to glib developers and possibly to libtool developers with all
the details.  If the problem is with binary packages, report to the
packager first.  glib-1.2 and glib-2.0 are supposed to coexist peacefully.

glib 2.0 requires pkgconfig.  It's a C program, so it's another
prerequirements to the users who want to compile MC from sources,
especially on traditional UNIX systems without any version of pkgconfig
and glib.  Alone the requirement for glib causes much pain for UNIX users.
