	Well - fun as it would be porting glib fully; I strongly reccommend
cutting down glib to the minimum you actualy need. We don't actualy use
much (any (?)) threading code in ORBit2 / linc, we simply use the
locking constructs; so it is not neccessary to port that in fact.

	It sounds like you've got a long way with this; amazing.

	I look forward to seeing it in action :-)

	Regards,

		Michael.
