Back the API version down to 3.0; since we don't make any stability
guarantees, there's no reason to have a merry-go-round of different
directories and filenames that people have to keep up with.
Move all of the mutter code into a new libmutter-wm.so, split its
main() method into meta_get_option_context(), meta_init() and
meta_run(), add methods for using in-process plugins, and add
libmutter-wm.pc pointing to the new library.
The mutter binary is now just a tiny program that links against
libmutter-wm. The --version and --mutter-plugins options are handled
at the mutter level, not in libmutter-wm, and a few strange unused
command-line options (--no-force-fullscreen and --no-tab-popup) have
been removed.

Revert the early_initialize changes (which get in the way in the
"libmutter-wm" paradigm), remove the GConf key for setting plugins,
and remove plugin "params", which weren't being used. Also remove all
the logic for unloading and reloading plugins, since the list never
changes after startup now.

This changes the introspection configure flag from
--with/--without-introspection to --enable/--disable-introspection,
and changes it so that trying to enable introspection when g-i is not
installed results in an error, rather than being silently ignored.

For GNOME Shell, we need to grab our DBus names *before* we talk XSMP.
gnome-session takes our XSMP connection as "I'm ready", and starts
running all the other random crud that people dropped in as autostart
files. But for example, we need to have claimed
org.freedesktop.Notifications before a lot of said crud starts.
This requires a plugin API version bump.
Misc: Move handling of --version way earlier in main() where
it should be; no point having it wedged after plugin handling.
While the Meego developers agreed to switching mutter to GTK+-3.0
unconditionally a while ago, Canonical used a GTK+-2.0 build for their
Unity project. As Canonical now announced a switch to compiz as their
window manager, there is no longer a reason to maintain GTK+-2.0
compatibility.

In many places, MetaRegion was being used entirely internally, rather
than for gtk2/gtk3 compatibility. In these cases, it's simpler to just
depend on cairo-1.10 (for both gtk2 and gtk3) and use cairo_region_t.
The few places where we did need GDK compatibility (GdkEvent.region and
gdk_window_shape_combine_mask) are replaced with a combination of
converting GdkRegion to cairo_region_t and conditional code.

This patch adds the option to disable or enable compiler warnings
to maintain compatibility with gnome standard configure options, and
allow users to work around warnings from compiler incompatibility.
--enable-compile-warnings=no disables compile warnings completely,
while --enable-compile-warnings=yes turns on non-fatal warnings.
The default --enable-compile-warnings=error gives the previous behavior.
Dead code for enabling '-ansi -pendantic' is removed, and the
default enabling of -ansi is removed as well. Blanket disabling
GCC extensions and C99 features causes various problems; we're
better off enforcing the dialect we want to use at code review
time.

g-ir-scanner is currently buggy and confuses the Gdk.Rectangle alias
with MetaRectangle. Since this is moderately hard to fix in
gobject-introspection and the fix would conflict with in-progress
changes, work around by doing a 'sed job' on the generated Meta.gir.

In order to replace calls to deprecated GDK code, the current
development version of GTK+ is required. Add some basic compatibility
code to allow building mutter with GTK+ 2.18.

To replace all calls to deprecated code, GTK+ 2.20 is required - add
some basic compatibility code, so that it is still possible to build
mutter with GTK+ 2.18 when not using -DGSEAL_ENABLE.

Rather than using the plugin objects constructed() method for doing
setup that requires the MetaScreen, add an explicit start() method
that is called after the screen is set.
The reason for this is that this allows plugin objects to be created
early before the bulk of Metacity setup, which then allows plugins
to affect how the setup happens. (For example, to change the way
that preferences are loaded.)
This is an incompatible change, since 'screen' is now not set in the
constructed method, so the plugin API version is bumped.

The current mechanism of metacity-theme-1.xml and metacity-theme-2.xml
is not flexible for allowing small-scale additions. With this patch
we bump the major version version once more to metacity-theme-3.xml
and add a single feature:
Any element in the DTD can have an attribute:
version="[<|<=|=>|>] MAJOR.MINOR"
And it will be ignored unless the predicate is met. (< and > should
be to be entity escaped as < and >)
This allows having alternate sections of the theme file for older and
newer version.
* Required GLib version is bumped to 2.14 so we can parse versions
with a regular expression.
* We switch internal version numbers to be "1000 * major + minor"
* We keep a stack of the maximum required version for the current portion
the XML tree so that the "cannot use versions you don't require" stricture
of the old code can be made local to a subpart of the tree.
* A version on the top metacity_theme element causes the entire file to
be ignored; this allows having one metacity-theme-3.xml for version 3.2
and newer (say) and a metacity-1.xml for everything old.
Actual new features will be added starting with 3.1 - 3.0 is just the
version="" feature.

- Specify a minimum version of Clutter-1.2.0
- Remove conditionalizatin and always use Clutter-1.1 framebuffer
API rather than raw GL fbos
- Replace deprecated cogl_material/texture_unref() with
cogl_handle_unref()

Add a configure switch:
--with-libcanberra=[yes/no/auto]
(defaulting to auto); if libcanberra is not found or explicitly
disabled, then the default system bell will be used for the bell
sound and no switch workspace sound is played.
