Krzesimir Nowak 4fe89b0437 gstrfuncs: Add replacement for string-to-number functions 
Very often when we want to convert a string to number, we assume that
the string contains only a number. We have g_ascii_strto* family of
functions to do the conversion but they are awkward to use - one has
to check if errno is zero, end_ptr is not NULL and *end_ptr points to
the terminating nul and then do the bounds checking. Many projects
need this kind of functionality, so it gets reimplemented all the
time.

This commit adds some replacement functions that convert a string to a
signed or unsigned number that also follows the usual way of error
reporting - returning FALSE on failure and filling an error output
parameter.

README 

This package contains the reference documentation
for GLib. For more information about Glib,
see:

 http://www.gtk.org

For information about contributing to the
GLib/GTK+ reference documentation project, see:

 http://www.gtk.org/rdp/

The GLib reference documentation is freely redistributable,
see the file COPYING for details.


REQUIREMENTS
============

To build the documentation, you must have the gtk-doc
package installed. To rebuild the template files,
you must have the current version of the GLib
header files installed.


BUILD
=====

First, run configure to generate the makefiles for this
module. There is one option specific to this package

  --with-html-dir=DIR   top of installed HTML documentation tree


The Makefiles for this module define three targets:

 templates:
  
  Scan the headers and merge the results with the current 
  template files

 sgml:

  Generate SGML files using the DocBook DTD from
  the template files

 html:

  Generate HTML from the SGML files.

To build the documentation, do:

 make sgml
 make html

You should only run the 'make templates' step if you
need to regenerate the templates for a more recent
version of the GLib sources.


INSTALLATION
============

 make install
