Doh! Sometimes I type faster than I think :) If we consider libotr only than yes, glib is a dependency which could be rather easily avoided. But if we consider OTR as a whole - libotr plus half-a-dozen bindings for various languages than I think it's a different story. GI takes care of automating lots of boilerplate code - that's why making language bindings using it is almost completely automated task. If we simply do not use glib for that (or worse - trying to reinvent it) than this boilerplate stuff doesn't magically disappear: it got to be written by someone. And tested. And maintained. So the net result is actually more code and bigger attack surface. Disclaimer: I'm not one of OTR devs so it's only humble advice nothing more. cheers, Max.
