These were meant to provide the ability to use GLib directly out of its
build tree but have a couple of rather serious limitations that prevent
their serious use:
- these files only worked with programs built using libtool
- for non-trivial uses, other environment variables will need to be
setup to allow GLib to function properly
- the system doesn't stack well when attempting to use multiple
libraries all uninstalled
The jhbuild --prefix= style system works much better in every way, so we
remove this old hack.
We can just assume that strerror/strsignal are available
nowadays. At the same time, drop use of thread-private storage.
Instead, always return interned strings.

Now that GMutex is exposed we can avoid the dance we did in ./configure
to allocate the correct amount of space for it within the GStaticMutex.
Remove the checks and move the definitions to gthread.h, trying very
hard to keep ABI-stable (even though we will be deprecating this soon).
Implement g_ascii_strto{d,ll,ull} and g_ascii_formatd using
xlocale functions where available. This is slightly faster
and a lot less icky than our homegrown code.

configure.ac defined G_THREAD_SOURCE and gthread-impl would #include it.
Instead, since we only have two thread implementations now, and since we
always use the Windows one only on Windows, move the logic to the
Makefile, predicated on 'if OS_WIN32'. Then have the chosen backend do
the #include "gthread-impl.c" from there.
Remove the G_THREAD_SOURCE define from configure.ac.
In particular, remove the libasyncns import, which was only used by
GUnixResolver, which is only used when threads are not available.
Likewise remove GWin32Resolver, and the hacky broken non-threaded
parts of GIOScheduler.

G_THREADS_ENABLED still exists, but is always defined. It is still
possible to use libglib without threads, but gobject (and everything
above it) is now guaranteed to be using threads (as, in fact, it was
before, since it was accidentally impossible to compile with
--disable-threads).

We had the 12 hour time format hard-coded to "%02d:%02d:%02d %s" but it
actually changes depending on the locale. Just with the other formats,
use nl_langinfo() if we have it, otherwise fall back on gettext().
- getmntinfo can take struct statfs or statvfs depending on the
OS. Use getvfsstat and if not found getfsstat instead. Idea from
Dan Winship.
- g_local_file_query_filesystem_info(): use statvfs.f_fstypename
if available

Improve a few situations where g_date_time_format() was getting the
padding wrong when displaying alt digits (eg: Arabic numerals) for
formatting time.
We now depend on nl_langinfo (_NL_CTYPE_OUTDIGITn_WC) to do the
conversion, which is very likely glibc-specific, but our previous method
relied on a glibc-specific printf() feature, so no harm done there.
Add a configure check for nl_langinfo (_NL_CTYPE_OUTDIGITn_WC).
Uncomment a few testcases that were failing previously.

Also, link libgio to -lresolv explicitly, rather than depending on
getting it implicitly via the libasyncns build (which should
eventually be going away).

This makes the source efficient on Linux.
Tested on Fedora 15 x86_64 + updates, kernel-2.6.40-4.fc15.x86_64
Also tested fallback code for unsupported flag TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET
on kernel 2.6.38.

This makes g_date_time_format() react to LC_TIME, which is
what people expect.
Translators: this change means that the GDateTime strings
are only used when the C library does not already provide
suitable translated strings for these (month names, etc).
We need to test the case of eventfd in the libc but no kernel support.
In order to do that, we add a separate compile of the GWakeup testcase
that interposes an 'eventfd' symbol that always returns -1 with errno
set. That will trigger the fallback case.
- move choice of statfs vs statvfs from gio/glocalfile.c to configure.ac
- if statvfs is the choice, then don't check number of arguments to statfs()
- use choice in gio/gunixmounts.c as well
