+       * glib/gspawn-win32.c (g_spawn_async_with_pipes): Ignore the
+       G_SPAWN_DO_NOT_REAP_CHILD flag, can't be meaninfully implemented
+       on Windows, at least not now. Always pass dont_wait as TRUE to
+       do_spawn_with_pipes(). The semantics of the dont_wait parameter is
+       very different from the semantics of the intermediate_child
+       parameter to fork_exec_with_pipes() in the Unix version. This
+       fixes a serious bug, g_spawn_async() in fact behaved
+       synchronously.
+
+       (do_spawn_with_pipes, do_spawn): Rename from
+       fork_exec_with_pipes() and do_exec(), those names were from the
+       Unix bersion, and misleading.
+
+       (close_and_invalidate): Don't try to close invalid fds.
+
+       * glib/gspawn.c (g_spawn_async_with_pipes): Add warning about
+       Windows behaviour. There is no fork(), so the child_setup()
+       function is in fact called in the parent.
+       
+       * glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c (WinMain): Insert spaces in argv
+       debugging output.
+
+       * tests/spawn-test-win32-gui.c: New file. Test program to be
+       linked as a GUI application. Behaves differently depending on how
+       invoked (by spawn-test).
+
+       * tests/spawn-test.c (run_tests): On Win32, run the
+       spawn-test-win32-gui program, too, in several ways, synchronously
+       and asynchronously.
+
+       * tests/Makefile.am: Corresponding change.
