Done. libmongo-client 0.1.3 has been released as of an hour or so ago,
tagged in git and all that. It removes the need for glib >= 2.16, and
will work with 2.12 and up. When building with < 2.16, OpenSSL becomes a
requirement, as I use its MD5 functions to emulate GChecksum.

Any version of OpenSSL will do, but the configure script was set up for
0.9.8. As far as I remember, that's the same as syslog-ng's, so it
should be fine.
