If I dare to remove libglib2 from my desktop, the package manager wants to remove literally a thousand packages to resolve the missing dependency. Seems like glib is pretty ubiquitous on linux machines, anyway. What builds would most likely suffer? Windows? Mac? BSD? > 4. The changed grid snapping heuristics in "before_pours" need review.

Is there a possible license conflict? I thought cairo is open source, too?
