Making --enable-static --disable-shared the default fixes most cases,
but build environments often pass --enable-shared --disable-static for
all autotooled projects. Force static building by setting the
appropriate variables as if they've come from the command line
parameters.
When glib is built static, the threads and clock code are not
initialized since DllMain is never run. Instead, initialize them from
the glib constructor.

pkg-config doesn't use message translation, so there's no need to build
it into the bundled glib. Furthermore, when not using glibc, this drags
in extra dependencies on gettext, libintl and iconv. Remove their usage
in two steps:
1. Don't include libintl.h directly from code. glibintl.h
conditionalizes the include of libintl.h based on the ENABLE_NLS define
and creates fallback macros when it's unwanted.
2. Remove the usage of the gettext macros in glib's configure.ac. This
ensures that the unwanted dependencies aren't searched for. Two defines
are kept around to keep the code happy.
Since we're going to use glib as a convenience library, we need to make
sure it builds as if --enable-static was passed. This only matters on
Windows where a couple extra macros are defined and the DLL machinery is
disabled.
Until the needed surgery is done to remove gettext support from the
internal glib (since pkg-config doesn't need it), make sure that libintl
is linked in when necessary.
We just want to be able to build glib from the within the pkg-config
tree. Everything else is just extra weight and is better used from an
actual glib checkout. Unnecessary files include:
* documentation
* translations
* tests
* ChangeLogs
* non-autotools win32 build files
* various other build and/or internal files
Add a snapshot of the current stable version of glib, glib-2.32.0. Since
we only need the glib library, a lot of files are removed. See the
README and update-glib.sh files in glib-patches for details.
