Quoting its NEWS file: "The m4sh macros AS_IF and AS_CASE can now be
used in shell lists.  The responsibility for supplying a trailing
newline now belongs to the call site, but since most users did not add
dnl, this generally results in fewer empty lines in configure."

This fixes monitoring failing to work when glib is built on a 2.6.27+
kernel but run on an older one.

When doing a g_file_copy() with nofollow-symlinks (to copy a link for
example), the later copying of the file attributes copies the source
links 777 attributes to the target's attributes. As chmod affects the
symlink target, this would cause such copies to always set the target to
777 mode.

This patch makes setting the mode with nofollow-symlinks fail with
NOT_SUPPORTED.

The aforementioned g_file_copy() will still succeed, because it ignores
errors of the attribute copy.

This means we don't sync in the case where we created an (empty)
temp file and now replace it with the data.

This fixes (among other things) the performance of trashing files.

Patch from bug #591532.

Avoid "function declaration isn't a prototype" warnings from gcc 4.4
in the Windows-specific code.

g_filename_complete_get_completions() return value is meant to be a
g_strfreev-compatible array i.e. NULL-terminated. However, pointer arrays
aren't automagically NULL-terminated. This fixes bug 586868

This avoids a small window for races between pipe and fdset.

gets rid of compiler warnings

We don't want to unset DISPLAY etc, if none is specified in the
app launch context.

Contrary to what the documentation says, g_string_chunk_insert_len
was stopping at the first nul. Also add a test. Fixes bug 585088.

And remove a bunch of grotty code to manipulate an environment
array at the same time. Instead, simply call setenv in the child_setup
function.

The default implementation of g_file_copy() checked the size of the file
to copy to give useful progress updates unconditionally. This can cause
long delays on 1-connection FTP servers while it tries to open a second
connection before it returns EBUSY. This patch makes this query only
happen when we actually send progress updates.

File attribute namespaces are delimited with "::", but
build_attribute_list_for_copy only used ":", so we didn't copy
any writable namespaces.

I'm not sure why we used the elaborate formula to convert the io-priority
to the priority of the mainloop idle when emulating async i/o with idles.
However, it causes the default io priority to be less than the normal
idle prio, so the i/o won't be scheduled if there is an idle outstanding.

There is really no great mapping to use here, doing blocking i/o in an
idle of any prio is generally bad and apps doing a lot of async i/o should
initialize threads. However, if we use the io-priority directly we at least
avoid the starvation problem above and make things easier to understand.
