Hi Abhik,

Sorry, I guess I mean: what is the earliest version of glib that 
supports the APIs you're talking about?

For Windows we don't have a problem because we distribute glib with 
Wireshark, but all other OS's rely on the currently-installed glib. 
"configure.in" currently enforces glib > 2.4 .  Increasing that may be 
OK but of course it means some number of people will have to go upgrade 
their glib (so doing it shouldn't be taken lightly).

Regards,
Jeff
