The test programs are not used in Wireshark proper, so someone with
the proper automake-foo can disable wmem_test for older glib versions.
Glib 2.14 is quite old at this point though, so it may just be worth
bumping our minimum version. Do we have a specific time window of glib
releases we make a point of trying to support?
