For giggles, I took a quick look...

it'd be a bit ugly... 'missing' from my 'standard' CentOS 6.3 ... so 
I've had problems building json-glib probably because I tried taking a 
cheap route with F17 source RPMs...

For gobject-introspection I installed gnome-common, libffi-devel but 
still needed at least cairo-gobject-devel and I then decided listening 
to Peter Kenny read Iain M Banks was far preferable.

I'm sure it'll just be easier to tell CERN et al to build their own damn 
json-glib and put it in and be done with it. With any luck, they'll tell 
us to build our own damned Higgs-Boson detector....
