By default, MDB Tools is linked against the copy of
[GLib](https://developer.gnome.org/glib/) returned by pkg-config. You can
point to a different GLib installation using the `GLIB_CFLAGS` and `GLIB_LIBS`
enivornment variables. Or, you can disable GLib entirely with the
`--disable-glib` flag, in which case MDB Tools will use an internal
implementation of GLib's functions.
configure can be passed any of the following flags to turn on other
capabilities. Note that the options `--with-unixodbc` and `--with-iodbc` are
mutually exclusive.
