We are actually not using the crypt() in GDK-Broadway for quite a while,
so the code implementation for MSVC is actually not used. So, it's time
to get rid of this.
On Visual Studio, unlike MinGW, manifest files are embedded via
including the manifest file as a resource file in the projects, not
via the .rc file. This means that the line in the .rc file that
specifies the manifest file would cause trouble, so that line gets
removed when the full gtk3-win32.rc is generated on Visual Studio builds,
otherwise 2010+ Visual Studio will complain when compiling the .rc file.
Also, the inclusion of winuser.h will cause warnings during the
compilation of the .rc file.
Fix this by isolating the Win32 resource portions of gtk-win32.rc.in to
gtk-win32.rc.body.in and:
-On MinGW, construct the full gtk-win32.rc by doing the winver.h and
winuser.h inclusion first, then append the contents of gtk-win32.rc.body,
and then appending the line to embed the manifest file.
-On Visual Studio, simply copy the gtk-win32.rc.body to gtk-win32.rc,
and generate the full libgtk3.manifest file.

"Add" Visual Studio 2015 projects by what we did before: Copy the Visual
Studio 2010 project files and replace the items in there as needed, as
the formats of the 2010 and 2015 projects are largely the same.
In bug 733773, gtk-win32.rc was removed from the dist in the attempt to
make the print dialog on Windows themed, so this script was added so that
the gtk-win32.rc file can be generated during the Visual Studio builds of
GTK+ from the autotools scripts. This is also intended for filling in the
arch of the build for MSVC builds for the manifest that is also required
for fixing bug 733773. Python is used as it is already needed for
This is done as a custom build rule in the Visual Studio projects so that
it is easy to clean and rebuild gtk-win32.rc upon an update.

As the Visual Studio 2012/2013 are only slightly different from the Visual
Studio 2010 projects, we can provide support for them by using scripts to
copy the Visual Studio 2010 projects, and update the specific parts as
necessary.
Thus, there would be little maintenance overhead for these as only the 2010
projects need to be kept up-to-date as a result. This might change when we
do get the stack working with WinRT/Metro, but that's going to be another
totally different issue.
The current approach of building the introspection files for GTK works, but
is often cumbersome as one needs to set many environmental variables before
launching a solution file, which runs a Windows batch script to generate
the .gir/.typelib files. It was also possible to hand-run the batch script
from the Visual Studio command prompt, but even more environmental
variables need to be set.
This changes the approach to build the introspection files using an NMake
Makefile (but elimating from the Visual Studio Project Files the part to
build the introspection files) to:
-Make it clearer to the person building the introspection files what
environmental variables are needed, specifically for PKG_CONFIG_PATH and
MINGWDIR and CFG (formerly CONF). Setting stuff like VSVER, PLAT and BASEDIR
is no longer required, which was a bit clunky.
-Allows some more easier flexibility on the build of the intropsection files.
This adds a crypt(3) implementation for use with broadwayd as Visual Studio
does not support crypt(3) out of the box.
The public domain implementation is taken from the following URL,
http://michael.dipperstein.com/crypt/, where AFAICT this implementation
would not be subject to licensing restrictions that would prevent it from
being bundled.
Add Windows .bat and Python script to call g-ir-scanner to build
introspection files for Visual Studio builds. This will read from the
autotools files using Python REGEX functionality to determine the headers
and sources for g-ir-scanner to process, so the autotools files will not
need to be updated except to distribute the necessary files. Thils will
also enable one to build introspection files on Windows without using a
BASH-style shell such as MSYS.
Also add an utility Visual Studio project to call the Windows .bat to
build the introspection files for GTK+/GDK, for convenience.
-Update to distribute the VS2010 files.
-Added rules in Makefile.am's of GDK and GTK to fill in the
project/filter files templates with up-to-date source file
listings to simplify maintenace.
Any comments on the usage of the VS2010 files are welcome!
