Bug Description

Quoting Krzysztof Kosiński:
"The bug which is keeping us with popt has been recently fixed.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=722025

This means we can remove several kb of code and remove one of our
dependencies by changing command line parsing from popt to GOption.

Since the bug was Windows-specific, we can do this once the next
stable version of glib is released."

Options:
1. Wait until GLib-2.40 is out.
2. Patch the current devlibs GLib (2.28.8) with the diffs attached to the bugzilla report.
