Make also the g_spawn*() functions take parameters in the GLib
file name encoding, i.e. UTF-8, on Windows. Has no impact on Unix
API or ABI. Like the other GLib API that was earlier changed to
use UTF-8 on Windows, the names of the functions that take UTF-8
have _utf8 suffixes added by using preprocessor macros in the
header file. The old names are kept for functions with the old
behaviour, taking parameters in the system codepage, for DLL ABI
stability.
* glib/gspawn.h: On Win32 add the suffix _utf8 to the names of the
g_spawn*() functions.
* glib/gspawn-win32.c: Use wide-char API on NT-based
Windows. Convert parameters from UTF-8 to wide chars (NT) or
system codepage (Win9x) and call the C library _wspawn*() or
spawn*() functions respectvely. Add DLL ABI stability versions
that take parameters in the system codepage.
* glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: On NT-based Windows use the
wide-char versions of argv and envp, and use wide-char API to
change directory and spawn the program to run. Remove the verbose
debugging output, it was too complex to modify for the wide-char
features. (Just add temporary debugging printouts if needed, no
need to have them permanently in the source.)
* glib/gspawn.c: Corresponding documentation updates.
* glib/glib.symbols: Corresponding changes: Mark the ABI stability
symbols as PRIVATE, add the new _utf8-suffixed ones.

Patch from J. Ali Harlow
* configure.in: Use void * not HANDLE for GPid on win32.
* glib/gspawn.[ch] glib/gspawn-win32.[ch] glib/glib.def:
Add g_spawn_close_pid().
* glib/gspawn.[ch]: Make g_spawn functions take
GPid * instead if int * (GPid == int on unix, will
produce compile warnings until fixed on Win32.)
* tests/child-test.c: Make the test a little more
inappropriately verbose.
* glib/gmain.c: Add some documentation warnings about
not closing @pid while the source is active.

* configure.in Makefile.am *.[ch] glib/*.[ch] glib/Makefile.am:
Move glib library into a subdirectory, make all GLib include
files include as <glib/glist.h>
* tests/testglib.c tests/testgdate.c tests/testgdateparser.c
tests/timeloop.c tests/timeloop-basic.c: Move all tests into
the tests/ subdirectory.

* gspawn.c: support G_SPAWN_FILE_AND_ARGV_ZERO specifying that
the vector passed in to g_spawn_* contains a filename to
execute in argv[0] then the actual argv begins at argv + 1.
Kind of a lame hack, but this isn't something you commonly want
to do, and avoids adding more function arguments.
2000-10-09 Havoc Pennington <hp@redhat.com>
* Makefile.am, tests/Makefile.am: Add new files.
* tests/spawn-test.c, tests/shell-test.c: new tests for
the shell/spawn stuff
* gutils.c (g_find_program_in_path): convert a relative
program name into an absolute pathname to an existing
executable
* gspawn.h, gspawn.c: New fork/exec API
* gshell.h, gshell.c: Shell-related utilities, at the moment
simply routines to parse argv and quote/unquote strings
* guniprop.c (g_unichar_isspace): Return TRUE for the
ASCII space characters isspace() returns TRUE for.
* gfileutils.c (g_file_get_contents): Convenience function
to slurp entire file into a string and return it. Partially
written by Joel Becker.
(g_file_test): file test function
