 generate_wrap_init.pl.in: Use g_type_ensure()

 Call g_type_ensure(SomeClass::get_type()).

 Redefining the G_GNUC_CONST preprocessor macro does not have the
 intended effect (SomeClass::get_type() actually being called) if
 the package is compiled and linked with the -flto option.
 LTO = link time optimization

 NMake Makefiles: Use Meson-style DLL and .lib naming if requested

 To make things more consistent and less prone to confusion, if 'USE_MESON_LIBS'
 is specified in the NMake command line, build the DLLs and .lib's that are
 named like the Meson counterparts.  Binaries built with Meson+Visual Studio
 and the ones that are built via NMake using 'USE_MESON_LIBS' are
 interchangeable, provided that they are built with the same Visual Studio
 version.

 NMake Makefiles: Fix generating [glib|gio]mm[config.h|.rc]

 This fixes the build process so that we won't need to generate them
 unnecessarily (i.e. when building from a release tarball built with autotools).

 Also streamline the build process that we no longer need to explicitly run
 the 'prep-git-build' target before building, where we generate
 [glib|gio]mm[config.h|.rc], and if needed, gmmproc and generate_wrap_init.pl,
 as part of the normal 'all' target if necessary

 docs/reference/: Update for Doxygen >= 1.8.16

 * docs/reference/meson.build: Doxygen 1.8.16 and later does not store
 tag file names in the html files. This requires changes in meson.build
 and in doc-install.pl (in mm-common). Otherwise references to other modules
 won't be updated in the html files when they are installed.
 * docs/reference/Doxyfile.in: Remove PERL_PATH and MSCGEN_PATH.
 Doxygen since version 1.8.0 does not use them.

 Meson/Visual Studio builds: Include toolset version by default

 This makes the built DLL and .lib's contain the toolset version if the build is
 carried out using Visual Studio 2015 or later, unless the
 'msvc14x-parallel-installable' option is set to be false during configuration.

 The reasoning behind this change is that there are subtle problems when, for
 instance, one tries to link to a Visual Studio 2015-built glibmm when building
 gtkmm and libxml++ with Visual Studio 2017 or 2019.  This is unfortunate as
 Microsoft did try hard to make interoperating between binaries built with
 Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019 as easy as possible in terms of ABI and API,
 but unfortunately this hits the corner cases where this compatibility does not
 work.

 As the name suggests, this attempts to make Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019
 builds share a single set of underlying C DLLs easier, while avoiding breakages
 caused by such subtle differences.

 NMake Makefiles: Fix building GIO tests/examples

 Make sure we look for the GIO headers first in this build tree or source tree

 NMake Makefiles: Clean up building tests and examples

 Instead of hand-written rules, just make use of what we have to generate the
 rules on the fly for most of the tests and examples, since the rules are more
 or less the same for each of the test and example programs.  We only need to
 single-out the ones that aren't buildable under Windows and those that have
 multiple programs under each directory, as opposed to one example/test program
 per directory.

 Even for those directories that have multiple example programs, we can pretty
 easily generate the rules for them.

 Also remove repeated parts that were added by accident.

 This can shrink the NMake Makefiles by a bit.

 glib/glibmm/ustring.h: Fix building on Visual Studio 2015

 Commit 8b8af81f accidentally changed the macro check from '_MSC_VER' to
 'MSC_VER', fix that, so that things build correctly on Visual Studio 2015

 Update README.win32

 Let people know that it is recommended (and even required at some
 points) to use the same Visual Studio version for building glibmm and
 dependent software, even for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019.

 NMake Makefiles: Distinguish between MSVC 2015, 2017 and 2019

 It was found that we cannot rely on the fact that Visual Studio
 2015~2019 tried very hard to be binary compatible, as there are corner
 cases when linking against glibmm built with Visual Studio 2015 with
 builds done by Visual Studio 2017 and 2019 where the code will fail to
 link and the DLLs are therefore not ABI-compatible.  Note that the
 libsigc++ DLLs, however, are ABI compatible between these 3 Visual
 Studio versions.

 As a result, for the DLL and LIB names, use 'vc140' for Visual Studio
 2015 builds, 'vc141' for Visual Studio 2017 builds and 'vc142' for
 Visual Studio 2019 builds, according to the toolset versions as defined
 by Microsoft.

 For people that may have previously built glibmm with Visual Studio 2017
 or 2019, which had 'vc140' in the built .lib and DLL, an NMake option
 'USE_COMPAT_LIBS' is added to make building such binaries with 'vc140'
 easier, if needed.

 propertyproxy_base: Fix using notify w/o prop name

 GLib has now specified that if you want to connect to a signal without a
 detail argument, you omit the `::`. So, glibmm users previously
 connecting to `notify::` to listen for changes to all properties broke.
 Fix that by only passing `notify` i.e. no superfluous `::` in that case.

 Meson build: Set default value of the 'warnings' option to 'min'

 * meson.build: Use dist-warnings when a tarball is tested by
 'ninja dist' or 'meson dist'. Check if generate-binding.py exists, if not
 maintainer-mode. Add a better error message if mm-common-get is required
 but not found.
 * meson_options.txt: Set default value of the 'warnings' to 'min'.
 Add 'dist-warnings' with default value 'fatal'.

 Bump version

 We need to update the version so that we can be able to check whether we
 have enough support in gmmproc to be ready to use __declspec(dllexport)
 instead of gendef.exe to export symbols for modules that build on top of
 the glibmm-2.4 branch, as they may well depend on older stable glibmm-2.4
 versions that do not have such support.

 Note that for those _WRAP_ENUM calls marked with NO_GTYPE, there is no
 need to add 'decl_prefix ...'.
