Not at all. Why should we all define our own xmalloc() in every
single program we write? Additionally, glib's memory management
do some additional caching to aid performance, and has hooks to
make it easy to debug memory management problems. Glib has all
kinds of nice little features like this.

OK, maybe gint and such are pointless, but they were going for
completeness here :). I forgive them.
