Restore the "mpcdec" decoder plugin that was accidently broken since
commit 8ead8f7e.

Make the third argument to AC_CHECK_LIB() non-empty to disable its
default handler.

Replacing GLib macros.

Micro-optimization.

Merge duplicate symbol.

This was a memory leak, because "mime" was a std::string which created
another copy and discarded the allocated buffer.

As a side effect, this fixes a memory leak.

Remove the const_cast from HttpdClient.cxx, and avoid one allocation
in ClientRead.cxx.

The header glib_compat.h is now obsolete and can be removed.

Copy the according file from another project (i.e. XCSoar).  This will
allow copying more code more easily.
