Sure, but that's a separate issue.  Users then have to be aware of  
whether they're getting a "glib-enabled" or "glib-free" cairo library  
-- and on MacOS X, where both cairo and gtk are part of MacPorts, the  
maintainer of the port wouldn't have much of an option but to always  
build with the glib dependency enabled.
