as I said, I am not adding a dependency on a GObject based library to
it. We wanna be able to replace GLib with eglib or similar if we have
to. Doing this for GObject based libraries is a pain in the ass. It is
just bloat.

My biggest problem with libusb1 is that not all distros have it right
now. However that might change in 2 or 3 month. So it should become
easier.

The whole point of udev and udev-extras is to keep the dependency chain
small. So I don't think it gets merged.

The GLib mainloop integration for libudev is really simple. So that is
not an excuse for being lazy and dragging GObject into the mix.
