This function implements the following logic:
if (g_variant_is_floating (value))
g_variant_ref_sink (value);
which is used for consuming the return value of callbacks that may or
may not return floating references.
This patch also replaces a few instances of the above code with the new
function (GSettings, GDBus) and lifts a long-standing restriction on the
use of floating values as the return value for signal handlers by
improving g_value_take_variant().

The function can be used to let regex compile non-NUL-terminated
strings without redesigning the way the pattern is stored in GRegex
objects and retrieved with g_regex_get_pattern.

The -e parameter to echo isn't recognized by echo in POSIX sh,
but isn't needed when no escaped characters need to be
interpreted.
This fixes building glib with a mingw cross compiler on Mac OS X.

This relates to my previous commit titled "add a script to generator
files for building" on behalf of Shixin Zeng.
Tell people about the availability of a python script to create the
necessary files for a Visual C++ build from a GIT checkout.
This is done with the courtesy of Shixin Zeng's python script which does
the job and eliminates the troubles of getting a suitable shell environment
to do the "make dist" job (which is especially not easy on Windows itself!)
Otherwise due to weird things like gtk-doc.make copying files back
into the source directory, we may run into the maintainer mode
bits mistakenly attempting to rerun.
-In gio/Makefile.am, the name for one of the filters for capturing the
sources for the GIO VS Project Files is corrected.
-Remove the GIO source file items in the VS project files templates as
a result for this change, and move the entry of the "new"
gregistrysettingsbackend.c into the filter in gio/Makefile.am
GAction is a read-only interface (as is visible by the lack of _set() functions
on its API). The properties on the interface currently force implementors to
support writing of the properties at construct time, however.
Lift that restriction.
Take advantage of this from GSimpleAction by nuking the set_property
function and setting the fields directly in the constructor.
