A comment in the commit message (or even in file configure) why 2.22 is 
needed would be helpful (this applies also to other requirements).

I typically face the problem that I want to run a build test on a 
platform which does not support the latest package versions (e. g. 
Debian stable or Windows). Then I usually try to lower the requirements 
until the feature which depends on that requirement is enabled. 
Especially for glib the requirements for Linux, Mac and Windows might 
also differ.
