Hey, he said "irrational policy of using only C++ applications". There's a big 
difference here. Because that is irrational... (well at least IMHO)

Sounds good is there anyone saying anything against that?

The question was if it's ok to depend on glib instead of copying glib into 
arts sources.
And so far I have not seen a single good argument for keeping the situation 
like it is now - except for those who think that this dependency will mean 
more work for them (I don't really count that as a "good" argument though :).
