Tor Lillqvist 06f371fb58 Add doc comments about Windows restrictions on renaming and removing.
2004-12-11  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

	* glib/gstdio.c (g_rename, g_unlink, g_remove): Add doc comments
	about Windows restrictions on renaming and removing.

	(g_remove): Mimic POSIX remove() on Windows: Try also to rmdir if
	removal as a file fails. Document this.

	* glib/gstdio.h: Clarify comment about file name encoding on
	Windows.
