* glib/gmain.[ch]: (Mostly patch from Sebastian Wilhemi)
Make some changes to the way that GMainContext works:
- a GMainContext is no longer associated with a single
thread, but any thread can acquire ownership
of thread and iterate.
- There is a facility g_main_context_wait() for
non-owner-threads to wait either for ownership
or for a condition to be broadcast.
- For efficiency, GMainLoop just piggybacks of
of the loops mutex / condition instead of
having a separate mutex/condition for each
GMainLoop.
* glib/gthread.[ch]: Remove hacks to store the thread's
GMainContext in the GThread structures, since we
no longer have the GMainContext <=> GThread correspondence.
* glib/gmain.[ch]: Make g_main_context_wakeup() public
so someone could completely duplicate GMainLoop
with the public API.
* tests/mainloop-test: Fix up to the new API. Decidedly
doesn't work at the moment, but that may be the IO
channel changes, or preexisting locking problems.

* configure.in Makefile.am *.[ch] glib/*.[ch] glib/Makefile.am:
Move glib library into a subdirectory, make all GLib include
files include as <glib/glist.h>
* tests/testglib.c tests/testgdate.c tests/testgdateparser.c
tests/timeloop.c tests/timeloop-basic.c: Move all tests into
the tests/ subdirectory.

* gmain.[ch]: Switch GMainLoop to be ref/unref, use to
make dropping reference to running loop safe.
* gmain.c, gmain.h (g_main_context_new, g_main_context_destroy): GMainContext useful
in implementing some additional styles of main loop usage. To do this, however, Joe
Hacker needs to be able to create/destroy GMainContext's at will. This is just an
export of existing functionality, rather than new functionality.
They are listed in the "Low level functions for implementing custom main loops"
section of the header file, to avoid confusing people.
* gobject/Makefile.am:
. You have to 'touch oldest-source-stamp' if you want to avoid having
the Makefile constantly rebuild itself.
. Fix marshaller generation rules to work with srcdir != builddir
(there were issues with trying to run "./glib-genmarshal", etc.)
Sun Dec 10 10:47:11 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* gmain.c (g_source_destroy_internal): Remove pollfds
from the context here, not when actually freeing the
source.
* gmain.c (g_source_unref_internal): Free source list
and source, call source->source_funcs->destroy().
* giochannel.c: Unreference io_channel properly.
Tue Dec 5 12:23:04 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* gmain.[hc]: Major change in API for creating sources
to handle multiple main loops (GMainContext *).
GSources are now exposed as GSource * and implemented
with structure derivation.
* giochannel.[ch]: Changed vtable for GIOChannel to correspond
to the new mainloop API, add g_io_channel_create_watch().
* gtypes.h: Move GTimeVal here.
* gthread.h: Remove gmain.h include to avoid circularity.
* giounix.c: Update for new GMain API.
* giowin32.c: Update for new GMain API. (No check for
proper compilation or working.)
* timeloop.c timeloop-basic.c: A benchmarking program for
the main loop comparing the main loop against a
hand-written (timeloop-basic.c) variant.
* tests/mainloop-test.c: New torture test of mainloop.
* docs/Changes-2.0.txt: Started. Added text about
changes to GMain.
* gmain.c (g_main_add_poll_unlocked): Initial fd->revents
to zero. (#8482, Benjamin Kahn)
