Well, there's the autoconf documentation:

On UNIX, I don't think there's a strong reason to care about GLib  
1.3[.x] - just 1.2[.x] and 2.x.  In that case, we could just check for  
2.x.  I'm not sure what you'd check for that, however.

That's one way of doing it.

Another way would be to check the Content-Type: value, if present; that  
would require that we add a string dissector table for Content-Type.   
That would also mean that only those types registered by the XML  
dissector would be dissected as XML.
