In the 2.7 release we stated in the ChangeLog that the minimum glib version for Windows hosts was 2.30, but we didn't update configure to enforce this because we were very close to the release at the point where we noticed the issue, and it only affected building the test suite. We then forgot that we needed to do it. Fix the omission.
(The reason for the 2.30 requirement is use of g_dir_make_tmp() -- our fallback implementation uses mkdtemp(), which isn't available on Windows.)
