It doesn't matter which file include wiretap/libpcap.h - without including
<glib.h> before it. It matters that wiretap/libpcap.h shall include <glib.h>
inside it because it wiretap/libpcap.h depends on <glib.h>
It makes future changes much easier: suppose wiretap/libpcap.h wants to  change
its dependency from glib.h to another one. In the actual case where glib.h is
not included in wiretap/libpcap.h, one has to change every single file that
includes wiretap/libpcap.h and change glib.h to the other one.
In the case where wiretap/libpcap.h includes glib.h, one has to change only one
file. 
A solution which requires to modify only one file is much better than a
solution that has to modified many files.
