    	* 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.
