Windows uses FILETIME, which starts counting from 1st Jan of year 1601 and,
unlike time_t, can't be negative, so Windows simply has no way
to do timestamp-math for dates before then. SYSTEMTIME (an equivalent
of struct tm) can, obviously, represent almost arbitrary date starting
from 1st Jan of year 0 (it's unsigned...), but GetDateFormatW() converts it
to FILETIME at some point in its implementation, and fails.
Unless the whole strftime() implementation of GDate is replaced by
something that doesn't rely on WinAPI, this part of the test will
never pass.

* tests/*.c: Added #undef G_DISABLE_ASSERT and #undef G_LOG_DOMAIN
throughout the files, which didn't already have them. (#87312)
2001-02-21 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* gutils.c (g_path_is_absolute): Match also UNC paths on Win32.
* gthread.h: Include gtypes.h to be sure to get GLIB_VAR
definition, remove definition from here.
* gunicode.h: Remove duplicate GLIB_VAR definition from here, too.
* gutils.c: (Win32) Use USERPROFILE as home dir if present. On
Win2k, HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH aren't reliable.
* Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Add -DGLIB_COMPILATION.
* makefile.mingw.in: Remove install target, Windows isn't Unix.
* testgdate.c
* testgdateparser.c
* testglib.c: Undefine GLIB_COMPILATION.
* glib.def: Updates.
* .cvsignore
* */.cvsignore: Ignore also .obj, .dll, .lib and .exe files.

* Makefile.am, gcompat.h, glib.h: New gcompat.h header file
as recommended by Havoc.
* gdate.c, gdate.h, testgdate.c,
docs/reference/glib/glib-sections.txt,
docs/reference/glib/tmpl/date.sgml, tests/date-test.c: Rename some
of the gdate functions to use the '_get' in their name. Patch
reviewed by Havoc.

* testgdate.c, testgdateparser.c: Two new files. This is kind of
ugly code, but I want to go ahead and make the tests available.
It isn't contaminating any other code. :-) Since one of these
is interactive and the other takes a while to run, I've kept
them separate from testglib for now.
* Makefile.am: Build gdate test programs.
