This is an incompatible change. The contract now is that unless you
compile with G_DISABLE_ASSERT, g_assert(FALSE) will cause your program
to exit with a non-zero status.

The fact that you *could* fix up 'make test' (for GLib, etc, etc, etc)
by making warnings terminate the program doesn't help. It's still
incompatible.
