I've now made the switch to homebrew, and so my OSX build tests
will be using glib 2.56. NB that this means that none of my merge
testing will catch "glib version too old" for our current setting
of "too old" -- I'm not sure what my current oldest version is in
the test machine set.

I've also upgraded Xcode, which means I now have a machine with
a clang that emits all the -Waddress-of-packed-member complaints.
I have configured the test build so those aren't fatal
(via --extra-cflags='-Werror -Wno-error=address-of-packed-member
-Wno-error=deprecated-declarations') but I'm now more interested in
getting those cleaned up so they don't clutter up my logfiles :-)
