We're going to need at least part of this patch in GLib eventually
anyway, but I have misgivings about other parts of it.  The only reason
I'm happy to accept the changes now is because I've discovered a path
towards deprecating g_cancellable_disconnect() entirely.

I have a patch for that already done, but it involves gsignal work and
it's way too risky to do this cycle.

All around, though, if we could wait until next cycle for all of these
changes (to GLib), I would be much happier.  Approving Ray's request
would let me do that.

Cheers
