------- Additional Comments from Martin Robinson <mrobinson at webkit.org>
I'm not sure this patch makes sense. GeolocationProviderGeoclue is a geoclue
implementation of a geolocation provider. Geoclue is a library that depends on
using GLib. There's nothing specific to GTK+ in this file that I can see. If
you want to make a geolocation provider that doesn't use Geoclue (and by
exetension GLib), then you should make an entirely new provider.

I'm also curious about the direction this is moving. Is the EFL port trying to
remove all GLib dependencies? That would require switching to the cURL
networking back-end, for instance.
