(g_win32_get_package_installation_directory_of_module): New
function. Supersedes g_win32_get_package_installation_directory()
and g_win32_get_package_installation_directory().
It makes more sense to have the function for this functionality
take a HMODULE as parameter instead of DLL name. The typical use
scenario has been to have a DllMain() function that retrieves the
full pathname for the DLL in question, and saves just the basename
of that. Then later code passes that saved dll basename to
g_win32_get_package_installation_directory(), which retrieves the
corresponding DLL handle, and then retrieves up its full
pathname. (Which DLlMain() already had.) It is less convoluted to
have a DllMain() that just saves the DLL handle, and then when
needed call this function to get the corresponding installation
folder.
(get_package_directory_from_module): Use
g_win32_get_package_installation_directory_of_module().
(g_win32_get_package_installation_directory)
(g_win32_get_package_installation_subdirectory): Mention these
functions will be deprecated and recommend using
g_win32_get_package_installation_directory_of_module() instead.
* glib/gwin32.h: Declare
g_win32_get_package_installation_directory_of_module().
* glib/glib.symbols: Add it.
