I wanted to cleanup code like:

#endif
with single:
    ptr = sl_alloc(...);
sl_ allocator already passed multiple fuzz testing so it should be stable.

Are many people still running GLib versions older than 2.10, or GTK+
versions older than 2.12? If not, we should probably bump the minimum
GLib and GTK+ versions after the Wireshark 1.6 branch is created. This
would let us clean up quite a bit of code in the trunk.
