The problem there, as mentioned elsewhere (maybe on the bug not the 
thread?) is that glib 2.12 and below is different again, and doesn't 
include glib.h.

So including gmessages.h works up thru 2.14 but not for 2.16, including 
glib.h works for 2.14 and 2.16 but not 2.12 and previous, and including 
gtestutils.h works for 2.16.  None of the above work for the entire range 
from 2.4, the apparent previous minimum required (according to Gentoo's 
dependencies anyway, I don't know of anyone actually using that far 
back), thru 2.16 and potentially forward.

Thus Dan's latest suggestion, using #if conditionals, but splitting all 
the glib logic out into its own glib-compat.h file for ease of 
maintenance, and just depending on it elsewhere in pan.
