I don't see a good reason for this - if man page generation is
disabled, man pages are not produced, and things like 'make dist'
will fail. That is simpler and better.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=681336
Previously, --enable-man --disable-gtk-doc would silently skip
man page generation, because we didn't even desdend into docs/reference.
Fix this by always going there.

Because of the '--as-needed' default option
for the linker, the linking will fail, if the
file name appears after any of the options or
the pkg-config invocation.

Use $(AM_V_GEN) for generating man pages, and set some parameters
for the XSL stylesheets. Among other things, don't generate AUTHORS
and COPYRIGHT sections.
This looks like it was stubbed out but not implemented; the vtable
entry dates to commit 3781343738 which
is just alex's initial merge of gio into glib.
I was working on some code that wants an asynchronous rm -rf
equivalent, and so yeah, this is desirable.

Many (if not "almost all") programs that spawn other programs via
g_spawn_sync() or the like simply want to check whether or not the
child exited successfully, but doing so requires use of
platform-specific functionality and there's actually a fair amount of
boilerplate involved.
This new API will help drain a *lot* of mostly duplicated code in
GNOME, from gnome-session to gdm. And we can see that some bits even
inside GLib were doing it wrong; for example checking the exit status
on Unix, but ignoring it on Windows.

Rather than doing a two step first-check-the-GAsyncResult-subtype-then-
check-the-tag, add a GAsyncResult-level method so that you can do them
both at once, simplifying the code for "short-circuit" async return
values where the vmethod never gets called.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=661767
Finish deprecating the "handle GSimpleAsyncResult errors in the
wrapper function" idiom (and protect against future GSimpleAsyncResult
deprecation warnings) by adding a "legacy" GAsyncResult method
to do it in those classes/methods where it had been traditionally
done.
(This applies only to wrapper methods; in cases where an _async
vmethod explicitly uses GSimpleAsyncResult, its corresponding _finish
vmethod still uses g_simple_async_result_propagate_error.)

* Document how to override interfaces already implemented
in a base class, and also call those base class implementations
from a derived reimplementation.
* Don't recomend people use base_init() style functions to
initialize interface signals and properties, use default_init()
aka class_init() instead (as G_DEFINE_INTERFACE() uses).
* The above solves the interface init called multiple times
problem, so remove some needless naysaying about that.
* Document default_init() in the interface initialization discussion
* Linkify more stuff.
* Remove some crud and typos

The docs for GString should really mention GByteArray, and what makes
it different. Drop the comparison to Java which is dated and actually
inaccurate (because StringBuffer operates on Unicode).
While we're here, add g_string_free_to_bytes(), which further
complements the spread of GBytes-based API. For example, one can
create a buffer using GString, then send it off via
g_output_stream_write_bytes().
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=677064
They make a full (deep) copy of a list.
In contrast with g_[s]list_copy(), these functions take a function as a argument
to make a copy of each list element, in addition to copying the list container itself.
The functions g_[s]list_copy() were reimplemented to just call the new functions
with NULL as the function argument, which will behave like current implementation.

Using a caller-supplied buffer for g_input_stream_read() doesn't
translate well to the semantics of many other languages, and using a
non-refcounted buffer for read_async() and write_async() makes it
impossible to manage the memory correctly currently in
garbage-collected languages.
Fix both of these issues by adding a new set of methods that work with
GBytes objects rather than plain buffers.

This essentially adds an accessor for the MimeType field in desktop files,
to retrieve the list of all mime types supported by an application.
The interface though is part of GAppInfo, so it could be implemented
in the future by other backends.

Provide public access to the GDBusConnect and object path that
GApplication is using. Prevents others from having to guess these
things for themselves based on the application ID.

Add two new methods to GProxyAddress for recovering information about
the destination URI that the proxy was created for (and modify
GProxyAddressEnumerator to set that information when creating the
GProxyAddress).
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.

* Add resolver functions for looking up DNS records of
various types. Currently implemented: MX, TXT, SOA, SRV, NS
* Return records as GVariant tuples.
* Make the GSrvTarget lookups a wrapper over this new
functionality.
* Rework the resolver test so that it has support for
looking up MX, NS, SOA, TXT records, and uses GOptionContext

GSettings overrides are processed in such a way that
alphabetically-later files have precedence over earlier files (eg: 20_
will beat 10_). Document that fact.
Add a function g_simple_async_result_set_check_cancellable() to provide
a GCancellable that is checked for being cancelled during the call to
g_simple_async_result_propagate_error().
This gives asynchronous operation implementations an easy way to
provide reliable cancellation of those operations -- even in the case
that a positive result has occured and is pending dispatch at the time
the operation is cancelled.

If an application (such as Nautilus) wants to show a sidebar with
devices group into different groups such as "Devices" and "Network",
it's currently up to the application itself to do the classification
(for example by looking at the URI scheme for the activation root,
e.g. smb://).
This patch adds a new identifier G_VOLUME_IDENTIFIER_KIND_CLASS that
can be set by volume monitors and used by applications.

The way gtk-doc works, we need compiling.sgml in both
content_files (to make sure it ends up in the disted tarball)
and in expand_content_files (to have references expanded).
