I'm waiting on Arch to upgrade glib. It's still in testing ATM. Once it 
comes down, I'll append the pkgbuild to include the new patch.

I believe any packagers for other distro's will only have to patch 
against glib if they are currently shipping that version. If Ubuntu 
sticks with 2.14, then no need to worry, for them.
