Besides glib2 being the only new dependency, I wonder how many other
packages (or non-pkgsrc programs) woudl use cairo and not glib2, since
it's all part of the same toolkit family.  So I think the glib2
dependency is even less of a big deal than it might seem.

It is also my impression that the gobject world is normal, and that
gtk-world things without their gobject parts are deficient.

So I think merging is perfectly ok.
