TODO for GLib 1.3:

* alloca support, with replacement if native alloca not available
	- check out gettext's implementation



--------------------------------------------------------------------

Ideas for GLib 1.3:

(jgarzik)
* wrap i18n routines on various platforms; wrap gettext libintl as a
  fallback

* benchmark garbage-collecting malloc (not for inclusion into GLib, just
  general knowledge)

* coneill's optimized MD5 checksum routine, maybe some other checksums
  too, encapsulated in a GChecksum.  Allow choice between a few built-in
  checksum functions, MD5, CRC, ?, or a user-specified checksum
  function pointer.

* New ADTs: trie, skip list, red-black tree, queue (below), stack (below)

* decent random numbers (really a portability thing)

* 'make check' tests one per module, plus bug report regression tests
  and such

* primitive memory leak checking by g_malloc, g_free

* alloca-based convenience macros, counterparts to:
	g_new, g_new0, g_strdup, g_strndup, g_strconcat, ???

* GStack, opaque ADT with interface:

	stack = g_stack_new ();
	count = g_stack_size (stack);

	g_stack_push (stack, data);
	data = g_stack_pop (stack);

	slist = g_stack_get_list (stack);

* GQueue, opaque ADT with interface:

	q = g_queue_new ();
	count = g_queue_size (q);

	q_queue_push_front (q, data);
	q_queue_push_back (q, data);
	data = q_queue_pop_front (q);
	data = q_queue_pop_back (q);
	#define q_queue_push q_queue_push_back
	#define q_queue_pop q_queue_pop_front

	list = g_queue_get_list (q);
	#define g_queue_get_front g_queue_get_list
	list_end = g_queue_get_back (q);
