Make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA folder on
Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. On Windows 7, that corresponds to the
subfolders AppData\Local vs. Documents under the profile ("home")
folder. This matches what Qt does, for instance, and has been widely
requested.
Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return this and not the (roaming)
CSIDL_APPDATA folder. The reason for this change is that it would be
surprising and hard to justify if g_get_user_data_dir() returned the
local application data folder while g_get_user_config_dir() would
return the roaming one. Nothing in the function names or the XDG specs
suggests that any roaming vs. local dichotomy would be involved.
Document the new semantics and the fact that these two functions now
return the same directory on Windows.
Note that in reality, code that really truly wants to support Windows
as well as possible probably will not use these GLib functions anyway,
but Win32 APIs directly to be sure what it is doing...
Should hopefully satisfy complaints in bug #620710 and related bugs.
Don't call LoadLibrary() on shell32.dll or kernel32.dll. kernel32.dll
is always loaded. Shell32.dll is also already loaded as glib links to
functions in it. So just call GetModuleHandle() on them.
For mlang.dll in win_iconv.c and winhttp.dll in gwinhttpvfs.c, always
try loading them from a complete path, from the Windows system
directory.
Use the "tool help" API to enumerate modules in gmodule-win32.c. It is
present in all Windows versions since Windows 2000, which is all we
support anyway. Thus no need to look that API up dynamically. Just
link to it normally. We can bin the fallback code that attempts to use
the psapi API.

Bug 570501 - g_win32_get_system_data_dirs uses invalid conversion
of function pointer to object pointer
* glib/gutils.c (g_win32_get_system_data_dirs_for_module): Change
the type of the function's parameter to be explicitly a function
pointer.
* glib/gutils.h (_g_win32_get_system_data_dirs): Modify
declaration and the only caller, the inline
_g_win32_get_system_data_dirs(), accordingly. Add comments
pointing out these are internal GLib functions.

theres no translation.
* glib/gi18n.c: g_i18n_init() for initializing the glib i18n,

* glib/gspawn-win32.c
* glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: Fix race condition when using the
helper process: When the helper process writes the handle of the
actual started user process to the parent process, it must be
duplicated in the parent process with DuplicateHandle() so that it
is a valid handle in that process. However, if the helper process
has happened to exit before the DuplicateHandle() call, the
duplication will fail. Thus we must synchronise the helper
process's exit. Use another pipe for this.
Take care not to inherit the writing end of this pipe to the
helper process. Also, in the helper process, take care not to
inherit either of the pipes used for communication with the parent
process to the started user process.
