The Visual Studio projects used a default setting for link-time code generation, which is a part of the various linker optimizations that is available, which is set as /LTCG for Visual Studio 2013 and earlier. This changed in Visual Studio 2015 to become /LTCG:incremental, which would cause GResources-generated code to be optimized out during linking, unless they were referred to directly in the main line code (such as when the GResource is manually registered), causing programs to crash as a result as they can't find the needed code/data at run time. Fix this by explicitly setting /LTCG for all release builds, for Visual Studio 2010 and later. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=752837
Now this directory is private to GLib. Only the files relevant to GLib are left. See the separate "build" module in GNOME SVN for history.
