We now assume getpwnam_r is posix and va_lists 55 can be copied by value since we can't check this in a cross compile.

The series number has changed 198 not because of any technical reasons but as an indication that we 199 are moving closer to 1.0.

add timeouts for authentication, activation 508 - add glib-style "checks" on public API, enable 509 those by default, disable assertions by default 510 - add GMainContext argument to GLib setup functions, 511 can be NULL for default context.
