Yes. The client, on purpose, doesn't use glib; only the server does, and
I've done it that way precisely for that reason: that you might want to
run it on diskless devices or whatever, where a full glib doesn't make
sense. I didn't think of creating a --disable-server option to
configure.ac or so, but it if you just say "./configure
--disable-glibtest" and do "make nbd-client" rather than just "make",
that should theoretically work. Haven't tried it, though.
