See #52813 for the port abandoned ticket.

After further research into this port it appears that it has been discontinued as a separate entity and superseded by fwbuilder itself whose port to MacPorts was never completed. See https://trac.macports.org/ticket/1869.

I propose to just go ahead and remove this obsolete glib1 implementation. fwbuilder can be ported if and when there is demand for it.
