GFileMonitor takes great care to sample the thread-default main context
at the time that it is created in order that events can be dispatched to
the correct thread when they come in.
The inotify GFileMonitor implementation uses a global file descriptor
shared between all watches. It has to poll this file descriptor from
somewhere so it arbitrarily picks the default main context.
The problem with that is that the user might not be running it.
Let's use the GLib worker thread for this instead. It's guaranteed to
be running if you need it, and this is exactly the sort of problem it
was meant to solve.

Perform a substantial cleanup of the build system with respect to
building and installing testcases.
First, Makefile.decl has been renamed glib.mk and substantially
expanded. We intend to add more stuff here in the future, like canned
rules for mkenums, marshallers, resources, etc.
By default, tests are no longer compiled as part of 'make'. They will
be built when 'make check' is run. The old behaviour can be obtained
with --enable-always-build-tests.
--disable-modular-tests is gone (because tests are no longer built by
default). There is no longer any way to cause 'make check' to be a
no-op, but that's not very useful anyway.
A new glibtests.m4 file is introduced. Along with glib.mk, this
provides for consistent handling of --enable-installed-tests and
--enable-always-build-tests (mentioned above).
Port our various test-installing Makefiles to the new framework.
This patch substantially improves the situation in the toplevel tests/
directory. Things are now somewhat under control there. There were
some tests being built that weren't even being run and we run those now.
The long-running GObject performance tests in this directory have been
removed from 'make check' because they take too long.
As an experiment, 'make check' now runs the testcases on win32 builds,
by default. We can't run them under gtester (since it uses a pipe to
communicate with the subprocess) so just toss them in TESTS. Most of
them are passing on win32.
Things are not quite done here, but this patch is already a substantial
improvement. More to come.
We have various sub directories in glib/ and gio/ (eg: inotify, gnulib,
pcre, xdgmime, etc.) that build convenience libraries that are then
included into libglib and libgio. The files in these directories need
to be built with the same visibility policy as the files in the first
level directories, so add CFLAGS for them all.
This wasn't a problem when the visibility flags were set directly in
CFLAGS but then we had to deal with some modules that we built that we
explicitly wanted to export symbols from.
For now, we can keep things the way they are because it's less hacky and
although it's a theoretical hazard to forget these CFLAGS, we rarely add
new subdirectories to the build.
Add a new GFileMonitorFlag: G_FILE_MONITOR_WATCH_HARD_LINKS. When set,
changes made to the file via another hard link will be detected.
Implement the new flag for the inotify backend.

This patch makes GFileMonitor to emit EVENT_CHANGES_DONE_HINT when
EVENT_CREATED is emitted but the file is not opened for writing.
On file moves across different mounted volumes, inotify will always emit
IN_CREATE and IN_CLOSE_WRITE (plus other events).
This translates into GIO's _EVENT_CREATED and _EVENT_CHANGES_DONE_HINT.
On file moves across the same mounted volumes, inotify will emit
IN_MOVED_FROM/IN_MOVED_TO which will be translated into
_EVENT_DELETED/_EVENT_CREATED GIO's side. No _EVENT_CHANGES_DONE_HINT is
emited afterwards.
Under such circumstances a file indexer does not know when actually the
file is ready to be indexed, either waiting too much or triggering the
indexing twice. On small devices it's not advisable.

This adds support for G_FILE_MONITOR_SEND_MOVED events when requested by
the user to the inotify backend. Last part to fix bug #547890.
Based heavily on a patch by Martyn Russel <martyn@lanedo.com>.

Removed the included copies of the inotify

header which exists on modern systems.
This fixes problems on ARM and SH5 (#510448)
but is also generally much cleaner and future
safe. For instance, if other OSes add support
for inotify it should "just work".
