* glib/gmain.[ch]: (Mostly patch from Sebastian Wilhemi)
Make some changes to the way that GMainContext works:
- a GMainContext is no longer associated with a single
thread, but any thread can acquire ownership
of thread and iterate.
- There is a facility g_main_context_wait() for
non-owner-threads to wait either for ownership
or for a condition to be broadcast.
- For efficiency, GMainLoop just piggybacks of
of the loops mutex / condition instead of
having a separate mutex/condition for each
GMainLoop.
* glib/gthread.[ch]: Remove hacks to store the thread's
GMainContext in the GThread structures, since we
no longer have the GMainContext <=> GThread correspondence.
* glib/gmain.[ch]: Make g_main_context_wakeup() public
so someone could completely duplicate GMainLoop
with the public API.
* tests/mainloop-test: Fix up to the new API. Decidedly
doesn't work at the moment, but that may be the IO
channel changes, or preexisting locking problems.
