This would be a good idea and for the moment not bad either. But here is
something more easy:

:%s/g_malloc/malloc/g
:%s/g_free/free/g

And you are quite a lot closer to porting from glib to glibc. After this
do that:

:%s/g_strdup/strdup/g
:%s/g_strconcat/<with the old copy_string function>/g

And you ported Midnight Commander for over 60-70% to glibc again. This
was only a quick peek I did. A few things need a bit more investigation
but it's not that big as people may assuming here.
