+
+       * glib.h: removed dummy structure definitions for struct _GCache,
+       _GTree, _GTimer, _GMemChunk, _GListAllocator and _GStringChunk.
+
+       * gutils.c: implement glib's inline functions _after_ all include
+       statements have been processed.
+       removed Tor's MAXPATHLEN check since there already was one supplied
+       further down in this file.
+       (LibMain): special cased the #ifdef __LCC__ case for NATIVE_WIN32,
+       since lcc maybe used on other platforms as well. why in hell is this
+       stuff required?
+       (g_get_any_init): for windows, if the user name is supplied, use it as
+       realname also.
+       in general, if there is no homedir specified, use the tmpdir that
+       we already figured.
+
+       * gtimer.c (g_timer_elapsed): changed a g_assert() statement to
+       g_return_if_fail().
+
+       * applied glib-tml-981020-0.patch for WIN32 portability, added some
+       comments and g_return_if_fail() statements, minor indentation fixes.
+       ChangeLog entry from Tor Lillqvist is appended.
+
+       * glib.h (struct dirent): use lower case structure members.
+
+       * glib.h: 
+       * makefile.lcc:
+       * makefile.msc:

+1998-10-20: Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
+
+       * README.win32 glib.def gmodule.def
+       * glibconfig.h.win32 gmodule/gmoduleconf.h.win32:
+       New files for the Windows port. The .def files list exported
+       symbols for the Microsoft linker and compatibles.
+
+       * configure.in:
+       Added checks for some platform-dependent headers: pwd.h sys/param.h
+       sys/select.h sys/time.h sys/times.h unistd.h, and the function lstat.
+
+       * gerror.c:
+       Conditionalized inclusion of system-dependent headers. Changes
+       for Windows: no gdb to do a stack trace. Just call abort().
+
+       * glib.h:
+       Changes for Windows:
+
+       Added macros G_DIR_SEPARATOR, G_DIR_SEPARATOR_S for
+       platform-dependent file name syntax elements. Added macros
+       G_SEARCHPATH_SEPARATOR, G_SEARCHPATH_SEPARATOR_S for
+       platform-dependent search path syntax conventions.
+
+       Added pragmas for Microsoft C to make it more pedantic.
+
+       Marked GLib's global variables for export from DLL.
+
+       Added the function g_strescape that escapes backslashes.
+
+       Added functions g_path_is_absolute and g_path_skip_root to
+       handle platform-dependent file name syntax.
+
+       Added the function g_getenv that expands environment variables
+       that contain references to other environment variables, as is
+       typical on Windows NT.
+
+       Added the GIOChannel structure which is used to encapsulate the
+       IPC mechanism used by the GIMP's plug-ins, and possibly other
+       things later. On Unix a GIOChannel encapsulates just a file
+       descriptor. On Windows it contains a file handle from _pipe() and a
+       few other things related to the implementation of gdk_input_add
+       and GIMP plug-in communication. Subject to change.
+
+       Removed duplicate declarations of the version variables.
+
+       For the Microsoft compiler, declare own implementation of
+       ftruncate and the <dirent.h> functions.
+
+       * gmem.c:
+       Define a symbolic name  for the profiling table size.
+
+       * gmessages.c:
+       Conditionalized inclusion of unistd.h. On Windows, output using
+       stdio to stdout.
+
+       * gscanner.c:
+       Conditionalized inclusion of unistd.h. Added changes for
+       Microsoft C. Added CR to the skipped character set. Added small
+       workaround for MSC compiler bug in g_scanner_cur_value.
+       
+       * gstrfuncs.c:
+       Added the function g_strescape, which escapes the backslash
+       character. Needed especially when printing Windows filenames.
+
+       * gtimer.c:
+       Conditionalized inclusion of unistd.h and sys/time.h. Added
+       implementations for Windows.
+
+       * gutils.c:
+       Conditionalized inclusion of platform-dependent headers. Use
+       the platform-independent file name syntax macros.
+       Conditionalize code on platform-dependent features. Added the
+       functions g_path_is_absolute g_path_skip_root and g_getenv.
+       Added the GIOChannel-related functions. Added
+       compiler-dependent Unix compatibility functions for Windows.
+
+       * makefile.lcc makefile.msc:
+       New files. Compiler-specific makefiles for LCC-Win32 and
+       Microsoft C. Only Microsoft C is actually supported currently.
+       
+       * testglib.c:
+       Added pathname check cases for Windows. Added workaround for
+       bug in the Microsoft runtime library. Improved some tests a bit.
