Add a new function, g_str_to_ascii() that does locale-dependent ASCII
transliteration of UTF-8 strings.
This function works off of an internal database. We get the data out of
the localedata shipped with glibc, which seems to be just about the best
source of locale-sensitive transliteration information available
anywhere.
We include a update script with this commit that's not used by anything
at all -- it will just sit in git. It is intended to be run manually
from time to time.

Since all element markup is now gone from the doc comments,
we can turn off the gtk-doc sgml mode, which means that from
now on, docbook markup is no longer allowed in doc comments.
To make this possible, we have to replace all remaining
entities in doc comments by their replacement text, & -> &
and so on.
Slightly expand on the documentation about casting varargs when
constructing GVariants, and link to it from all the functions where it’s
a necessary consideration.
Add an example of passing flags to a ‘t’ type variable (guint64).
Assuming the flags enum does not have many members, the flag variable
will be 32 bits wide, and needs an explicit cast to be passed into
g_variant_new() as a 64-bit value.

This returns the command line in GLib filename encoding format (ie:
UTF-8) for use with g_option_context_parse_strv().
This will allow parsing of Unicode commandline arguments on Windows,
even if the characters in those arguments fall outside of the range of
the system codepage.

Add g_option_context_parse_strv() that obeys the normal memory conventions for
dealing with a strv instead of assuming that we're dealing with the 'argv'
parameter to main().
This will help for using GOptionContext with GApplication.

This was a feature intended from the very beginning that somehow never
got written. It's a way to replace these sort of error messages out of
the GVariant parser:
1-2,10-15:unable to find a common type
with something in the style of the Vala compiler:
unable to find a common type:
[1, 2, 3, 'str']
^ ^^^^^

Most GErrors, such as GSomethingError, have a function to get
their quark that looks like g_something_error_quark(),
so bindings (such as gtkmm) would expect GVariantParseError
to have g_variant_parse_error_quark(). Instead this had
g_variant_parser_get_error_quark().
This deprecates the old function and adds the correct one,
making life easier for gtkmm (and maybe others).

g_test_set_nonfatal_assertions() was a no-op, because
g_assertion_message() wasn't actually checking the
test_nonfatal_assertions flag. Fix that and add a test.
Also, g_test_set_nonfatal_assertions() has to set test_mode_fatal to
FALSE as well, or else a failed assertion will cause the test program
to abort at the end of the failed test.
Also, belatedly add this and the new g_assert_* methods to the docs.

Since the initial addition of BeOS support in 1999, there has only
been one update to it (in 2005, and it wasn't even very big). GLib is
known to not currently build on Haiku (or presumably actual BeOS)
without additional patching, and the fact that there isn't a single
G_OS_BEOS check in gio/ is suspicious.
Additionally, other than the GModule implementation, all of the
existing G_OS_BEOS checks are either (a) "G_OS_UNIX || G_OS_BEOS", or
(b) random minor POSIXy tweaks (include this header file rather than
that one, etc), suggesting that if we were going to support Haiku, it
would probably be simpler to treat it as a special kind of G_OS_UNIX
(as we do with Mac OS X) rather than as its own completely different
thing.
So, kill G_OS_BEOS.

Add a pair of functions to make it easier to do simple string matching.
This will be useful for use with things like GtkSearchBar and will also
be the basis of the searching done by the (soon to appear)
g_desktop_app_info_search()

Mark 'test', 'test-report', 'perf-report' and 'full-report' as PHONY in
docs/Makefile.am to prevent recursion of gtester into the documentation
subdirectories. Stop including Makefile.decl from these directories
since it is no longer necessary.
This will clear up the warnings about EXTRA_DIST being defined once in
gtk-doc.make and again in Makefile.decl.
Add a pair of functions for returning strings that don't need to be
freed. This is a bit of a hack but it will turn the 99% case of using
these functions from:
gchar *tmp;
tmp = g_test_build_filename (...);
fd = open (tmp, ...);
g_free (tmp);
to:
fd = open (g_test_get_filename (...), ...);
which is a pretty substantial win.

g_test_trap_fork() doesn't work on Windows and is potentially flaky on
unix anyway given the fork-but-don't-exec. Replace it with
g_test_trap_subprocess(), which re-spawns the same program with
arguments telling it to run a specific (otherwise-ignored) test case.
Make the existing g_test_trap_fork() unit tests be unix-only (they
never passed on Windows anyway), and add a parallel set of
g_test_trap_subprocess() tests.
Also fix the logic of gtestutils's "-p" argument (which is used by the
subprocess tests); previously if you had tests "/foo/bar" and
"/foo/bar/baz", and ran the test program with "-p /foo/bar/baz", it
would run "/foo/bar" too. Fix that and add tests.

Lots of people have variously asked for APIs like
g_variant_new_string_printf() in order to avoid having to use
g_strdup_printf(), create a GVariant using g_variant_new_string(), then
free the temporary string.
Instead of supporting that, plus a million other potential cases,
introduce g_variant_new_take_string() as a compromise.
It's not possible to write:
v = g_variant_new_take_string (g_strdup_printf (....));
to get the desired result and avoid the extra copies. In addition, it
works with many other functions.

There are two benefits to this:
1) We can centralize any operating system specific knowledge of
close-vs-EINTR handling. For example, while on Linux we should never
retry, if someone cared enough later about HP-UX, they could come by
and change this one spot.
2) For places that do care about the return value and want to provide
the caller with a GError, this function makes it convenient to do so.
Note that gspawn.c had an incorrect EINTR loop-retry around close().

Adding file descriptors to a GSource provides similar functionality to
the old g_source_add_poll() API with two main differences.
First: the list of handles is managed internally and therefore users are
prevented from randomly modifying the ->events field. This prepares us
for an epoll future where changing the event mask is a syscall.
Second: keeping the list internally allows us to check the ->revents for
events for ourselves, allowing the source to skip implementing
check/prepare. This also prepares us for the future by allowing an
implementation that doesn't need to iterate over all of the sources
every time.
