glib/README.win32
Tor Lillqvist f477518c3a Merge in current Win32 version. Almost no Unix code touched.
* README.win32: More text.

	* config.h.win32 glibconfig.h.win32: Update to match the
	corresponding generated files on Unix.

	* makefile.msc: Update with new source files, and gthread
 	library. Use the compiler flag -MD instead of using -D_DLL and
	"/nodefaultlib:libc msvcrt.lib" in the link phase.

	* glib.def: Include new functions, drop removed ones.

	* glib.h: Add comments about main loop and polling on Win32. (In
	general, it's only for the GIMP's use.) Add Win32 IO Channel
	functions. Remove the obsoleted old IO Channel stuff (which was
	in #if 0 already).

	* giowin32.c: New file.

	* gmain.c: Include config.h, conditionalize <sys/time.h>
 	inclusion.  Add g_poll implementation for Win32 (only for the
 	GIMP's needs for now, it's hard or even impossible to be as clean
 	and generic as on Unix). Implement g_get_current_time on Win32. If
 	threads aren't supported, don't try to wake up main thread's
 	loop. On Win32, use a semaphore and not a pipe to wake up the main
 	loop.

	* gmessages.c: On Win32, allocate a console window if the standard
	output handle is invalid before writing to stdout, and reopen stdout
	to that console window.

	* giochannel.c: Conditionalize unistd.h inclusion. Some indentation
	cleanup.

	* gstrfuncs.c: Include <signal.h>.

	* gutils.c: On Win32, also check the HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH
	environment variables.

	* gmodule-dl.c gmodule-dld.c: In
 	_g_module_build_path, don't add the "lib" prefix and
 	".so" or ".sl" suffix if already there.

	* gmodule-win32.c: Likewise for the ".dll" suffix.

	* gthread-posix.c: Conditionalize <sys/time.h> inclusion.

For more information about the port or GLib, GTk+ and the GIMP to
native Windows, see http://www.iki.fi/tml/gimp/win32/ . ("Native"
means that we use the Win32 API only, and not any POSIX emulation
layer except that provided by the Microsoft runtime C library, and the
pthreads emulation library from Cygnus.)
As for now, only the Microsoft compiler and tools are really
supported. Before compiling, check the BIN definition in
makefile.msc. Compile with `nmake -f makefile.msc`. Install with
`nmake -f makefile.msc install`. Cygwin (without cygwin runtime,
i.e. "mingw32") and maybe LCC-Win32 support will be added later. Note
that when using the cygwin compiler and other tools *with* the cygwin
runtime the normal Unix configuration method should work.
The thread support uses the pthreads package from Cygnus, which isn't
ready yet, and thus really should not be relied upon.
