In order to be ready for the next major version of GLib we need to
disable single header inclusion by using the G_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES
define in the build process.
The maintainer compiler flags we use trigger warnings and errors
in the autogenerated code that gtk-doc creates to scan the header
and source files. Since we cannot control that, and we must run
a distcheck with both --enable-gtk-doc and --enable-maintainer-flags
turned on, we need to use less-strict compiler flags when inside
the doc/reference subdirectories.
The way to do this is to split the maintainer compiler flags into
their own Makefile variable, called MAINTAINER_CFLAGS. The we
can use $(MAINTAINER_CFLAGS) in the INCLUDES or _CFLAGS sections
of each part of the source directories we wish to check with the
anal retentiveness suited for maintainers.

The tests have been reorganised into different categories: conformance,
interactive and micro benchmarks.
- conformance tests can be run as part of automated tests
- interactive tests are basically all the existing tests
- micro benchmarks focus on a single performance metric
I converted the timeline tests to conformance tests and also added some
tests from Neil Roberts and Ebassi.
Note: currently only the conformance tests use the glib test APIs,
though the micro benchmarks should too.
The other change is to make the unit tests link into monolithic binaries
which makes the build time for unit tests considerably faster. To deal
with the extra complexity this adds to debugging individual tests I
have added some sugar to the makefiles so all the tests can be run
directly via a symlink and when an individual test is run this way,
then a note is printed to the terminal explaining exactly how that test
may be debugged using GDB.
There is a convenience make rule: 'make test-report', that will run all
the conformance tests and hopefully even open the results in your web
browser. It skips some of the slower timeline tests, but you can run
those using 'make full-report'
