On Windows, GLib needs a spawn helper (gspawn-winXX-helper.exe and gspawn-winXX-helper-console.exe for non-console and console version, respectively) for g_spawn* API. Failing to bundle this helper prevents GLib from launching external programs (e.g., opening a web browser when user clicks on a web-site link in a GtkAboutDialog).
