I changed this so that _g_io_modules_ensure_loaded is a private function
that only glib uses for its libs. It takes no arguments and could use
whatever magic require on win32 to find the module directory.

Instead I exported g_io_modules_load_all_in_directory, which is used in
the implementation of _g_io_modules_ensure_loaded. It can be used in
other libraries (such as in gvfs) to implement a similar thing.

Is this ok for you?
