The target platforms for GNU Backgammon is GNU/Hurd and GNU/Linux, and I
assume that glib is present on those (since the very first glib).
Candidates for a missing glib is AIX, Sun, IRIX, and other commercial unix
flavours, but like windows they are not among the target platforms.
I admit it would be nice to be able to use glib...

Yes, I use lots of glib functions in the GTK+ code I write.
