 	The short term plans for eglib is to allow Mono to optionally
 	build with it instead of using glib, gmodule and gthread, but
 	the default build will continue to be done against glib 2.0.
 
-	Our first target is to make this work with Linux, other
-	platforms will follow after that.

-	In the long-term (Mono 2.0) we are considering dropping glib
