Using a modified wmem_test.c which only contains a dummy main()
the Wireshark 1.10.0rc1 build now stops when trying to link
wireshark

It looks like the g_strcmp0 substitute from epan/strutil.c is not
contained in the archives/objects wireshark is linked against.
A few minor adaptations still seem to be needed if we want to keep
glib 2.14 compatibility.
