Patch

I would like to make OPTIONal the run-dependency of glib20 on python, with a
default that keeps the current status. The reason is that many packages depend
on glib only for its shared libraries, and it is unconvenient to have to
install 100MB of python just for that.

If MAINTAINER agrees, there are two approaches:

1. just make the run-dependency optional
This is what is currently implemented in the attached patch. The plist does not
change so it's still possible to install python later to run glib-genmarshal
and friends.

2. make the run-dependency optional and skip the installation of anything that
relies on python
Perhaps safer, perhaps overkill given that python continues to be a
run-dependency by default and turning that off means you know what you are
doing. However, if you prefer this approach, I'm prepared to implement it.
