It has replaced a lot of hand-rolled utility functions - many of which were broken - in the Amanda source. Don't think of glib as "GTK+ without the X libraries" - think of it as a well-maintained compatibility and utility library, similar to APR (APR's more focused on efficiency, while glib has a wider range of functionality). Glib is available for just about any platform - I know folks who have used it on IRIX, AIX, and various versions of HP-UX - even Windows! Amanda has been using glib for a few years now, too.
