I think most of them do need Glib2, but there will be some that don't.

Just out of curiosity, why are people so keen to cling onto Udev? I
remember before udev we had to use /sbin/hotplug for things like
loading firmware and dynamically creating device nodes and it didn't
work very well. Now we can compile firmware into the kernel and the
kernel can create device nodes automagically. I was surprised how easy
it was to remove udev and I'm happier with 1 less daemon running

But what about the issue of people who are using an LFS 7.1 system and
don't have Pkg-config installed? Should we put a note mentioning the
need for Pkg-config or just assume that everyone is using current LFS
SVN?
