Remove assertion. Return TRUE if the iter doesn't have a parent. Fix

Fri Feb  9 17:46:18 2007  Søren Sandmann  <sandmann@redhat.com>

       * glib/gsequence.c (g_sequence_get_end_iter): Remove assertion.
       * glib/gsequence.c (is_end): Return TRUE if the iter doesn't have
       a parent.
       * glib/gsequence.c: Fix grammar of comment. 
       * glib/gsequence.c (node_update_fields): Use a temporary variable
       for the n_nodes.
