If a DateTime gets modified to cross the DST state from its previous
state then we want to update the DateTime to compensate for the new
offset.
In other words, if we have a DateTime defined as:
DateTime({ y: 2009, m: 8, d: 15, hh: 3, mm: 0, tz: 'Europe/London' });
and we add six months to it, the hour must be changed to 60 minutes
behind, as the DST comes into effect.

Otherwise we'll have to do:
dt = g_date_time_new_full (Y, M, D, h, m, s, tz);
tmp = g_date_time_add_usec (dt, usec);
g_date_time_unref (dt);
dt = tmp;
With its additional allocations.

Timezone handling is complicated. Really complicated.
In order to simplify it a little bit, we need to expose the GTimeZone
structure.
First of all, we allow creating time zone information directly from the
offset and the DST state, and then pass it to the g_date_time_new_full()
constructor. We also need to clean up the mess that is UTC-vs.-localtime
for the other constructors.
We also allow creating a GTimeZone from the Olson zoneinfo database
names; a time zone created like this will be "floating": it will just
reference the zoneinfo file - which are mmap()'ed, kept in a cache and
refcounted. Once the GTimeZone has been associated with a GDateTime, it
will be "anchored" to it: the offset will be resolved, as well as the
DST state.

The current msgctxt string 'GDateTime" lead to the unability to
differentiate between the full and abbreviated name for May.
Therefore, the msgctxt strings have been changed to
'full month name'
'abbreviated month name'
'full weekday name'
'abbreviated weekday name'
This is a string change, but all translations have been updated
using an sed script.

This is a vtable structure and very likely the user has allocated it in
static storage and wants it to be const. Since we never modify it, no
harm is done to us to have it const.
Closes bug #629328.
Use Proleptic Gregorian calendar instead of the Julian calendar
as the internal representation.

Previously, the format string was iterated many times by
walking to the given offset in the string repeatedly.
This patch instead walks the string using g_utf8_next_char().
Additionally, the character for lookups was a char and could
loose content. This uses gunichar instead.

These were left over from when the inline functions where implemented
as macros. They are no longer needed and where clashing with the
global __year anyway.
