// A brief refresher on GLib:
//     GLib sources have four callbacks: Prepare, Check, Dispatch and Finalize.
// On each iteration of the GLib pump, it calls each source's Prepare function.
// This function should return TRUE if it wants GLib to call its Dispatch, and
// FALSE otherwise.  It can also set a timeout in this case for the next time
// Prepare should be called again (it may be called sooner).
//     After the Prepare calls, GLib does a poll to check for events from the
// system.  File descriptors can be attached to the sources.  The poll may block
// if none of the Prepare calls returned TRUE.  It will block indefinitely, or
// by the minimum time returned by a source in Prepare.
//     After the poll, GLib calls Check for each source that returned FALSE
// from Prepare.  The return value of Check has the same meaning as for Prepare,
// making Check a second chance to tell GLib we are ready for Dispatch.
//     Finally, GLib calls Dispatch for each source that is ready.  If Dispatch
// returns FALSE, GLib will destroy the source.  Dispatch calls may be recursive
// (i.e., you can call Run from them), but Prepare and Check cannot.
//     Finalize is called when the source is destroyed.
