LO builds GLib, gdk-pixbuf and Pango using their ancient nmake-based build mechanisms (that use the make.msc from GLib's build/win32 directory). This compiles against the debugging runtime (the -MDd switch, msvcr90d.dll) if there is a DEBUG environment variable. We don't want that. None of LO's own DLLs should use the debugging runtime even in an --enable-debug build, and the debugging runtime doesn't get included in the installer.

GLib is a general-purpose utility library, which provides many useful data types, macros, type conversions, string utilities, file utilities, a main loop abstraction, and so on. From [ http://www.gtk.org/api/2.6/glib/glib.html ]
