Hi Colin,

Alexander can give you the gory details if needed but the summary is:
Krogoth has full gobject-introspection support (for architectures that qemu
supports), jethro does not.

There is a distro feature but it is backfilled by default so no action
should be needed. For many libraries you only need to inherit the class,
but do read the fine manual just in case:
