```
A few cleanups, followed by improved usage of the glib library (no need
to reinvent the wheel when glib provides the necessary functionality), and
then the addition of support for RHEL 4.x and 5.x.

These are all defined before they are used, so it is not necessary to
pre-declare them.  Remove the pre-declarations.

Subject: [PATCH 05/15] contrib/git-credential-gnome-keyring.c: set Gnome application name

```
Since this is a Gnome application, let's set the application name to
something reasonable.  This will be displayed in Gnome dialog boxes
e.g. the one that prompts for the user's keyring password.

We add an include statement for glib.h and add the glib-2.0 cflags and
libs to the compilation arguments, but both of these are really noops
since glib is already a dependency of gnome-keyring.

Rather than carefully allocating memory for sprintf() to write into,
let's make use of the glib helper function g_strdup_printf(), which
makes things a lot easier and less error-prone.

Rather than roll our own, let's use the memory allocation/free routines
provided by glib.

The gnome-keyring lib distributed with RHEL 5.X is ancient and does
not provide a few of the functions/defines that more recent versions
do, but mostly the API is the same.  Let's provide the missing bits
via macro definitions and function implementation.

```
The gnome-keyring lib (0.4) distributed with RHEL 4.X is really ancient
and does not provide most of the synchronous functions that even ancient
releases do.  Thankfully, we're only using one function that is missing.
Let's emulate gnome_keyring_item_delete_sync() by calling the asynchronous
function and then triggering the event loop processing until our
callback is called.

I reviewed all of the commits in this series, and most are nice
cleanups.  The only thing I'm a little shaky on is RHEL4
support (patch 15).  In particular, this:

    +/*
    + * Just a guess to support RHEL 4.X.
    + * Glib 2.8 was roughly Gnome 2.12 ?
    + * Which was released with gnome-keyring 0.4.3 ??
    + */

Has that code been tested on RHEL4 at all?  I imagine it's hard
to come by--it's pretty darn old--but it feels like a mistake to
commit untested code.

Otherwise, there are a few stylistic nits that I'd like to clean
up.  Only one was introduced by you--Felipe pointed it out--and
I have a patch for the rest that I can submit after your series
has been applied.

The (poorly worded) comment is referring to the version of glib that
is being tested by the pre-processor statements.  Since gnome-keyring
doesn't provide a way to test its version, and I'm not sure exactly
which gnome release included gnome-keyring 0.4.3 or which glib version
was distributed with which gnome version, I'm just roughly guessing
based on dates and not-conclusive google searches that 2.8 is
reasonable.

I'll try to clarify the wording here.

The code has been tested on CentOS 4.X.

Well, not exactly "introduced" by me, but I guess I can fix it in that
same patch. :)

Sounds good.
