	* app/base/base-utils.h
	* app/base/base-utils.c: The return type of get_pid() should be
	gint, not GPid. This matches also the C library on Windows, in
	which the return type of getpid() is int, not a pointer or
	intptr_t. The use for GPid in the GLib API is as a "handle" to a
	descendant processes, returned by the g_spawn_*() functions, and
	passed to the g_child_watch_*() functions, not as a "process
	identifier".
