Re: enchant glib version requirements

I'm with Hub on this one. If a pre-packaged version of glib > 2.6
exists for your operating system, I'd suggest using it. If not, I'd
suggest that you cook up a little patch like:

#define g_fopen fopen

And then see how far you get. Glib 2.6 came out 3.5 years ago. I don't
feel particularly bad about requiring it.

Sorry,
Dom
