In configure.ac, escaping '#' in NAMESER_COMPAT_INCLUDE results in the following gio/gnetworking.h, which obviously doesn't compile:
#include <arpa/inet.h>
#include <arpa/nameser.h>
\#include <arpa/nameser_compat.h>

Add g_socket_get_option() and g_socket_set_option(), wrapping
getsockopt/setsockopt for the case of integer-valued options. Update
code to use these instead of the underlying calls.

Install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to include
the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not really
abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in particular,
are incompatible.
gnetworkingprivate.h now contains just a few internal URI-related
functions
Also add a g_networking_init() function to gnetworking.h, which can be
used to explicitly initialize OS-level networking, rather than having
that happen as a side-effect of registering GInetAddress.

The gobject tools (glib-genmarshal and gobject-query) were linking
against libgthread. Stop that.
Also, remove the gthread_INCLUDES internal automake substitution.
Using "int main (int argc, char** argv)" in this test causes GCC to
issue two warnings about unused variable if CFLAGS envvar has
-Wunused-parameter (or just -Wextra). Those warnings are not related
to the attribute checking but they can make the test fail anyway.
As the project file format for Visual Studio 2012 is only slightly
different from Visual Studio 2010 projects, we can provide support for
building GLib (and other projects) with Visual Studio 2012 with relatively
little effort. This might change when we eventually get GLib to work with
the Windows 8 (Modern UI/formerly Metro) APIs, but this will suffice for
the time being for people needing to build GLib with Visual Studio 2012.
Basically all that needs to be done at 'make dist' is:
-Copy the .sln/.props/README.txt/.vcxproj files and replace the VS2010
stuff with VS2012 stuff
-Copy the .vcxproj.filters as is
Rather than defining _WIN32_WINNT only in a handful of files, define
it in config.h, like we do with _GNU_SOURCE.
(Also remove a "#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN" that isn't really all
that useful.)

This brings native file monitoring support on systems supporting kqueue(3)
(all BSDs) and remove the need to rely on the unmaintained gamin software.
The backend adds GKqueueDirectoryMonitor and GKqueueFileMonitor.
Some parts rewritten by myself (to prevent needing a configuration file).
Helpful inputs from Colin Walters and Simon McVittie.

This avoids collecting the zombie child, which means that the PID
can't be reused. This prevents possible race conditions that might
occur were one to send e.g. SIGTERM to a child.
This race condition has always existed due to the way we called
waitpid() for the app, but the window was widened when we moved the
waitpid() calls into a separate thread.
If waitid() isn't available, we return NULL, and consumers of this
private API (namely, GSubprocess) will need to handle that.

We're not going to depend on gnome-common (I assume) so this patch
nicks the systemd macro to test for compiler flags, and uses it to set
a similar set of -Werror=foo as the gnome-common one does.

If we're going to be setting more strict compiler flags for GNOME, we
should really ensure GLib builds with them first, as it's kind of the
model citizen.
In particular, you can see several times that downstreams such as
Debian have come in and fixed -Wformat-security bugs. We should never
let those get into tarballs, or even commits.

Some programs attempt to use libglib (or even libgio) when setuid.
For a long time, GTK+ simply aborted if launched in this
configuration, but we never had a real policy for GLib.
I'm not sure whether we should advertise such support. However, given
that there are real-world programs that do this currently, we can make
them safer with not too much effort.
Better to fix a problem caused by an interaction between two
components in *both* places if possible.
This patch adds a private function g_check_setuid() which is used to
first ensure we don't run an external dbus-launch binary if
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS isn't set.
Second, we also ensure the local VFS is used in this case. The
gdaemonvfs extension point will end up talking to the session bus
which is typically undesirable in a setuid context.
Implementing g_check_setuid() is interesting - whether or not we're
running in a privilege-escalated path is operating system specific.
Note that GTK+'s code to check euid versus uid worked historically on
Unix, more modern systems have filesystem capabilities and SELinux
domain transitions, neither of which are captured by the uid
comparison.
On Linux/glibc, the way this works is that the kernel sets an
AT_SECURE flag in the ELF auxiliary vector, and glibc looks for it on
startup. If found, then glibc sets a public-but-undocumented
__libc_enable_secure variable which we can use. Unfortunately, while
it *previously* worked to check this variable, a combination of newer
binutils and RPM break it:
http://www.openwall.com/lists/owl-dev/2012/08/14/1
So for now on Linux/glibc, we fall back to the historical Unix version
until we get glibc fixed.
On some BSD variants, there is a issetugid() function. On other Unix
variants, we fall back to what GTK+ has been doing.

Solaris/OpenSolaris/OpenIndiana define FIONREAD in sys/filio.h.
This commit adds a configure check for this header, and includes
it conditionally in gio/gsocket.c.
Patch by Fabian Groffen, bug 675524.
Default to generate man pages if the required tools and
stylesheets are found. Error out if --enable-man is given
but tools or stylesheets are missing.
The "-framework" linker flag takes a second word as a parameter. If
they are passed separated with whitespace, some flag-handling routines
may not know to keep the two words together as a single unit. Use
-Wl,, to pass multiple words without embedded whitespace.
