Back in the far-off twentieth century, it was normal on unix
workstations for U+0060 GRAVE ACCENT to be drawn as "‛" and for U+0027
APOSTROPHE to be drawn as "’". This led to the convention of using
them as poor-man's ‛smart quotes’ in ASCII-only text.
However, "'" is now universally drawn as a vertical line, and "`" at a
45-degree angle, making them an `odd couple' when used together.
Unfortunately, there are lots of very old strings in glib, and also
lots of new strings in which people have kept up the old tradition,
perhaps entirely unaware that it used to not look stupid.
Fix this by just using 'dumb quotes' everywhere.

* 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.

* 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.
