Re: Regarding gdbus-codegen (was: Re: glib-mkenums in glib 2)

Hi Fan, 

Thanks for sharing. FYI, MinGW makefiles from latest master generate and 
install "gdbus-codegen" correctly. You may want to take inspiration from 
them if you plan to add gdbus-codegen generation for MSVC (don't know this 
toolchain enough to do it myself). 

I just suggested a little path change  :
