Patch from J. Ali Harlow

Mon Mar  1 15:39:57 2004  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

       Patch from J. Ali Harlow

        * configure.in: Use void * not HANDLE for GPid on win32.

        * glib/gspawn.[ch] glib/gspawn-win32.[ch] glib/glib.def:
        Add g_spawn_close_pid().

        * glib/gspawn.[ch]: Make g_spawn functions take
        GPid * instead if int * (GPid == int on unix, will
        produce compile warnings until fixed on Win32.)

        * tests/child-test.c: Make the test a little more
        inappropriately verbose.

        * glib/gmain.c: Add some documentation warnings about
        not closing @pid while the source is active.
