Colin Walters 549d895fa4 glib-unix: New API to watch some Unix signals 
This new API allows watching a few select Unix signals;
looking through the list on my system, I didn't see anything
else that I think it'd reasonable to watch.

We build on the previous patch to make the child watch helper thread
that existed on Unix handle these signals in the threaded case.
In the non-threaded case, they're just global variables.

<title>GLib Overview</title>
<para>
GLib is a general-purpose utility library, which provides many useful data
types, macros, type conversions, string utilities, file utilities, a main
loop abstraction, and so on. It works on many UNIX-like platforms, Windows,
OS/2 and BeOS. GLib is released under the GNU Library General Public License
(GNU LGPL).
</para>
<para>
The general policy of GLib is that all functions are invisibly threadsafe with the
exception of data structure manipulation functions, where, if you have two threads
manipulating the <emphasis>same</emphasis> data structure, they must use a lock to
synchronize their operation.
