GTask used a 10-thread thread pool for g_task_run_in_thread() /
g_task_run_in_thread_sync(), but this ran into problems when task
threads blocked waiting for another g_task_run_in_thread_sync()
operation to complete. Previously there was a workaround for this, by
bumping up the thread limit when that case was detected, but deadlocks
could still happen if there were non-GTask threads involved. (Eg, task
A sends a message to thread X and waits for a response, but thread X
needs to complete task B in a thread before returning the response to
task A.)
So, allow GTask's thread pool to be expanded dynamically, by watching
it from the glib worker thread, and growing it (at an
exponentially-decreasing rate) if too much time passes without any
tasks completing. This should solve the deadlocking problems without
causing sudden breakage in apps that assume they can queue huge
numbers of tasks at once without consequences.

The flowinfo and scope_id fields of struct sockaddr_in6 are in host
byte order, but the code previously assumed they were in network byte
order. Fix that.
This is an ABI-breaking change (since before you would have had to use
g_ntohl() and g_htonl() with them to get the correct values, and now
that would give the wrong values), but the previous behavior was
clearly wrong, and no one ever reported it, so it is likely that no
one was actually using it.

These were meant to provide the ability to use GLib directly out of its
build tree but have a couple of rather serious limitations that prevent
their serious use:
- these files only worked with programs built using libtool
- for non-trivial uses, other environment variables will need to be
setup to allow GLib to function properly
- the system doesn't stack well when attempting to use multiple
libraries all uninstalled
The jhbuild --prefix= style system works much better in every way, so we
remove this old hack.
In the case of an empty file, return NULL instead of "". This means
that the return result of g_mapped_file_get_contents() will always be
page-aligned.

* gdesktopappinfo.c (expand_macro): If possible, always pass FUSE
file:// URIs (such as '/home/davidz/.gvfs/sftp on foo/file.avi')
instead of the gio URI (such as sftp://foo/file.avi) when using
g_app_info_launch() and friends. With a sufficiently recent gvfs,
apps using gio+gvfs will map the FUSE file:// URI back to the gio
URI (and thus bypass the fuse daemon) thanks the patch from bug
#530654. Since Nautilus is an user of g_app_info_launch() it
means that non-gio POSIX apps, such as mplayer, will Just Work(tm)
when launced via the file manager. Win. Fixes bug #528670.
* gappinfo.c: Add some notes about the FUSE POSIX URI <-> GIO URI
mapping to the description of GAppInfo.

* README.in: Add "Notes about glib 2.20" section detailing the

* glib/grand.c, gthread/gthread-impl.c, tests/rand-test.c:
Improved the seeding algorithm. Old behaviour can be achived by
setting envvar G_RANDOM_VERSION to "2.0". (#99262)
* docs/reference/glib/glib-docs.sgml,
docs/reference/glib/Makefile.am: Renamed
docs/reference/glib/changes-2.0.sgml to
docs/reference/glib/changes.sgml and added section for changes
from 2.0 to 2.2 (Also corrected 1.0 to 1.2).
* README.in, docs/reference/glib/running.sgml,
docs/reference/glib/tmpl/random_numbers.sgml,
docs/reference/glib/changes.sgml: Added notes about the new
seeding algorithm.

* README.in: Remove notes about now-fixed-bugs.
* m4macros/glib-gettext.m4 acinclude.m4: Get rid
of AC_MSG_NOTICE() usage, since some broken systems
(Hi Debian!) might not be using autoconf-2.5x for
downstream packages even though we require it for
glib itself.
* INSTALL.in: Add a note about installing extra
converters for Solaris.
* glib/gutils.h (g_bit_nth_msf): Fix termination
condition. (#82582, Paolo Molaro)
