[gtk2-perl] Glib 1.037, Gtk2 1.037

More unstable releases, preparing for the imminent API freeze.

Overview of Changes in Glib 1.037
=================================

* Added bindings for missing utility functions, with tests and doc:
   g_get_user_name, g_get_real_name, g_get_home_dir, g_get_tmp_dir,
   g_get_application_name, g_set_application_name.  [muppet]
* Decided on versioning API, implemented, used, and documented it.   
There's
   more documentation on the versioning stuff than code to implement it.
   New functions:  Glib->CHECK_VERSION, Glib::MAJOR_VERSION,
   Glib::MINOR_VERSION, Glib::MICRO_VERSION, Glib->check_version,
   Glib::major_version, Glib::minor_version, Glib::micro_version.
   [Ross, muppet]
* GPerlClosure's exception handlers no longer clobber $_.  [muppet]
* Add the ability to register new error domains and throw Glib::Errors  
from
   Perl.  New utility function, Glib::Error::matches (binding for
   g_error_matches), makes it easy to test errors.  New xs utility  
function
   for parsing a perl data structure into a GError.  [muppet]
* POD generation cleanups and fixes and enhancements.  [Ross]
   - Methods are now sorted for readability
   - Plain functions get proper non-method signatures
   - Hiding works better, more extensibly
   - Can now specify where in the file the POD should code.
* Miscellaneous bug fixes.  [Torsten, Ross, muppet]

Overview of Changes in Gtk2 1.037
=================================

* Updated Glib requirement to 1.037.
* Decided on a versioning scheme, implemented it, and applied it.

   New functions: Gtk2->CHECK_VERSION, Gtk2::MAJOR_VERSION,  
Gtk2::MINOR_VERSION,
   Gtk2::MICRO_VERSION, Gtk2::major_version, Gtk2::minor_version,
   Gtk2::micro_version.  Change Gtk2::Pango::check_version to
   Gtk2::Pango::CHECK_VERSION.  [Ross, muppet]

   Gtk2::RadioMenuItem::new_with_mnemonic_from_widget
   Gtk2::RadioMenuItem::new_with_label_from_widget
* Added to parse_maps the ability to generate error domain  
registrations;
   use that for Gtk2's own error domains.  [muppet]
* Use a weakref rather than object data to keep Tooltips objects alive.
   [muppet, implementing yosh's suggestion]
* Pod fixes and enhancements.  [Ross]
* Fix up the license notifications in source files.  [Torsten]
