Warning C4819 in Visual Studio builds indicates an issue of Visual Studio
2005 and later running on East Asian locales of Windows, which likely
results in broken builds of GLib, Pango, GTK+, and possibly other GNOME
projects such as Cogl and Clutter (and is also an issue when building other
projects like QT and Firefox).
Treat this warning as an error as a result when building GLib-based items
on Visual Studio, and tell people how to remedy this issue correctly.
Apparently the C4819 warnings appear due to a bug on Visual C++ on DBCS
locales, so re-enable this.
Add a note in the Visual C++ Readme.txt's regarding this.
This warning appears when unicode chars that cannot be displayed in the
current Windows code page is used anywhere in the file, including comment
blocks. We probably don't need to see these, especially as problems
caused by such characters are manifested as other warnings or errors,
for example, the need to add BOM to a file when compiling code with
complex script on Windows.
Don't disable warning C4996 as that is the Visual C++ warning triggered by
__declspec(deprecated) and __declspec(deprecated('..."))-disabling that
warning will defeat the purpose of G_DPRECATED/G_DEPRECATED_FOR.
For people who don't want to see the GLib deprecation warnings during GLib
compilation, define GLIB_DISABLE_DEPRECATION_WARNINGS in the projects or
property sheet.

* **/makefile.msc glib/makefile.msc.in : removed -GD to compile
with msvc9 (vs2008) with less complains
* glibconfig.h.win32.in : #define G_HAVE_ISO_VARARGS 1 for
msv8 (vs2005) and above
* glib/gfileutils.c : s/stricmp/_stricmp/
* msvc_recommended_pragmas.h : work around Microsoft's premature
attempt to deprecate the C-Library
* tests/makefile.msc.in : added checksum-test
svn path=/trunk/; revision=6076

* glibconfig.h.win32.in
msvc_recommended_pragmas.h (new file) : moved warning to
error pragmas to their own file to not force 'good practice'
programming in downstream libs and apps. Instead the new header
will be used by -FImsvc_recommended_pragmas.h in gnome/cvs
makefile.msc
* */makefile.msc.in : use -FImsvc_recommended_pragmas.h
