Babeltrace already uses GLib extensively and, as best I can tell, it
doesn't do anything with command-line options that GLib doesn't support.
 GLib's command-line parsing facility is explicitly intended to be a
replacement for popt:

I'm also working on improving Babeltrace's MinGW port and removing the
popt dependency will make that easier.
