g_thread_init() is now a deprecated API, so drop G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED
from the CFLAGS for gthread/. Add the missing declaration for
g_thread_init_with_errorcheck_mutexes() back to deprecated/gthread.h.
This function was never put in a header and was only used internally
from libgthread, but we should keep the symbol around to avoid
triggering any false-positives on ABI checkers.
For -Wmissing-prototypes compatibility with this unusual case, we should
add a private prototype in the .c file just before.
This has uncovered two unused testcases in option-context.c. They are
currently broken and require more investigation (which is probably why
they are unused).
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.
Document the previously uncovered case of calling g_spawn_async_with_pipes()
without a full path but no G_SPAWN_SEARCH_PATH. This runs programs from the
current directory, which might be unexpected and even dangerous in some corner
cases.

Adds g_key_file_ref and g_key_file_unref, to be used by a future
GKeyFile boxed type for language bindings.

Add functions for manipulating the environment under which a
GAppLaunchContext will launch its children, to avoid thread-related
bugs with using setenv() directly.
FIXME: win32 side isn't implemented yet
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=659326
gutils.[hc] is a bit of a grab bag, so lets start cleaning
things up by moving all the environment-related functions
into separate genviron.[hc] files.
The private _g_getenv_nomalloc has been moved to its sole caller.
When spawning a child process, it is not safe to call setenv() before
the fork() (because setenv() isn't thread-safe), but it's also not
safe to call it after the fork() (because it's not async-signal-safe).
So the only safe way to alter the environment for a child process from
a threaded program is to pass a fully-formed envp array to
exec*/g_spawn*/etc.
So, add g_environ_getenv(), g_environ_setenv(), and
g_environ_unsetenv(), which act like their namesakes, but work on
arbitrary arrays rather than working directly on the environment.
