There are a number of nice things this class brings:
0) Has a race-free termination API on all platforms (on UNIX, calls to
kill() and waitpid() are coordinated as not to cause problems).
1) Operates in terms of G{Input,Output}Stream, not file descriptors
2) Standard GIO-style async API for wait() with cancellation
3) Makes some simple cases easy, like synchronously spawning a
process with an argument list
4) Makes hard cases possible, like asynchronously running a process
with stdout/stderr merged, output directly to a file path

This is essentially a commandline implementation of the client-side of
the org.freedesktop.Application D-Bus interface.
It includes support for tab-completion based on desktop files and their
contents.

Rather than having lots of obscure platform-based #ifdefs all over
gio, define some macros in gcredentialsprivate.h, and use those to
simplify the rest of the code.

In implementing a better g_output_stream_splice_async() and possibly
other situtations it's helpful to know whether the input stream's
read function internally uses threads. If it and the output stream's
write async functions use threads, then the splice function could
spawn a single thread for better efficiency.
This patch adds a function to determine whether an input stream's
g_input_stream_read_async() function internally uses threads.

Add a new type of GAction that represents the value of a property on an
object. As an example, this might be used on the "visible-child-name"
property of a GtkStack.

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.
GBytesIcon is an icon that has a GBytes inside of it where the GBytes
contains some sort of encoded image in a widely-recognised file format.
Ideally this will be a PNG.
It implements GLoadableIcon, so GTK will already understand how to use
it, but we will add another patch there to make things more efficient.

Some (broken) toolchains for example trip up
-Werror=missing-prototypes in system headers. This patch allows
people to skip the formerly hardcoded "baseline" warnings.

Add GSimpleProxyResolver, for letting people do static proxy
resolution, and to use as a base class for other resolvers (such as
GProxyResolverGnome).

gio's glib-mkenums call needs to get gnetworking.h out of $(builddir),
not $(srcdir). Fix/simplify it by using $(filter) on $^ and letting
make find everything.
Also add -Wno-portability to AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE in configure.ac, so that
it doesn't warn about this (or about the gmake-specific features we
were already using in gio/tests/)

Before this commit, the only difference between the expected and actual
ABI were the addition of _init and _fini symbols in each module (now
that regexp-based export control is not catching those).
We only want to control the default visibility for our five main
installable libraries: libglib, libgthread, libgmodule, libgobject,
libgio. We should therefore only set -fvisibility=hidden when building
those.
Use a separate substitution variable for this purpose.
Using CFLAGS directly leads to some modules built in testcases not
exporting their symbols (and then the tests fail). It also affects the
fam file monitoring module.
Colin had originally done it this way in his visibility patch series but
I failed to understand why so I didn't copy it. Now I do.
Also: revert changes made to two testcases in an attempt to work around
this issue.

With visibility now under the control of __declspec(dllexport) we no
longer need to build .def files or use them for building our various
.dll files.
.def files used to be installed (even though it is only really useful
when creating the .dll or .lib file). Don't do that anymore either.
The Makefiles still contain rules to create a .lib file for use with
Visual Studio and these rules require .def files. There are special
requirements to using these rules (like having installed and setup
Microsoft tools for use during the build) and therefore the problem of
creating a .def file for use with them is left open to anyone willing to
make the effort. Many options are available depending on which
toolchain is in use (dlltool, pexport, gendef, dumpbin.exe, just to name
a few).
If we can find a free tool for creating .lib files in the future, we
should probably revisit this issue and add proper support back to our
build system.
Since Windows builds by Visual C++ do not make use of autotools during
its build process, we need to dist a pre-configured
gio/gnetworking.h(.win32) for such builds.
The vs9/vs10 (and therefore vs11) property sheets are updated as well

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.

Written by Dmitry Matveev as part of GSoC 2011:
http://netbsd-soc.sourceforge.net/projects/kqueue4gio/
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.

Even private functions that are actually called across compilation
units should have prototypes. For g_dbus_action_group_sync(), create
one in gdbusactiongroup-private.h

GTask is a replacement for GSimpleAsyncResult and GIOScheduler, that

gcontenttype.c was split into gcontenttype.c and gcontenttype-win32.c
in commit 32192ee9 ("Split gcontenttype.c"), so we don't want to include
gcontenttype.c in the Visual C++ build as it is no longer a source file
meant for Windows.
Thanks to Thomas H.P. Anderson for pointing this out.
The bash-completion code nowadays expects completion files to
be installed in /usr/share/bash-completion/completions, and
expects them to be named like the command they are completing
for.

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.

Commit f084b60377 incorrectly set
DIST_SUBDIRS for the toplevel Makefile.am. In general actually we
don't need to set it, because modern automake automatically sets
it by looking at conditionals for SUBDIRS.

gdbus-daemon-generated.[ch] failed to build because it depended
on gdbus-2.0/codegen/gdbus-codegen which was build during the SUBDIRS part
of the build, however SUBDIRS are done *after* processing BUILT_SOURCES,
and these files are in BUILT_SOURCES.
The fix is simple, instead of running the gdbus-codegen code we
run the gdbus-codegen.in code, which works fine for uninstalled execution.
I also removed Makefile from the dependencies to avoid rebuilding the file
in tarballs, as Makefiles are written at configure time. We should be able to
ship the prebuilt files in the tarballs.
When running uninstalled
This is mostly complete, sans support for activation. However, its
not as picky as the libdbus implementation in terms like validation
and limits checking, nor is it as tested.
Its can be useful to test gdbus if dbus-daemon is not availible, but
its main reason for existance is to implement a default session bus
on win32 so that e.g. GApplication is guaranteed to work.
Move g_pollable_source_new() here from gpollableinputstream.c, add
g_pollable_source_new_full(), and add some new methods to do either
blocking or nonblocking reads depending on a boolean argument.

This patch solves two problems:
First, it allows builders to optionally cut the circular dependency
between dbus and glib by disabling the modular tests (just like how
the tests can be disabled in dbus).
Second, the tests are entirely pointless to build if cross-compiling.
It also moves us slightly closer to the long term future we want where
the tests are a separate ./configure invocation and run against the
INSTALLED glib, not the one in the source tree. This would allow us to
run the tests constantly, not just when glib is built.
