/* Start up the world of vips.
 *
 * 7/1/04 JC
 *	- 1st version
 * 7/6/05
 * 	- g_type_init() too, so we can use gobject
 * 2/9/06
 * 	- also set g_prg_name() and load plugins
 * 8/12/06
 * 	- add liboil support
 * 5/2/07
 * 	- stop a loop if we're called recursively during VIPS startup ... it
 * 	  can happen if (for example) vips_guess_prefix() fails and tries to
 * 	  i18n an error message (thanks Christian)
 * 8/6/07
 * 	- just warn if plugins fail to load correctly: too annoying to have
 * 	  VIPS refuse to start because of a dodgy plugin
 * 7/11/07
 * 	- progress feedback option
 * 5/8/08
 * 	- load plugins from libdir/vips-x.x
 * 5/10/09
 * 	- gtkdoc comments
 * 14/3/10
 * 	- init image and region before we start, we need all types to be fully
 * 	  constructed before we go parallel

 * vips_init:

 *
 * vips_init() starts up the world of VIPS. You should call this on
 * program startup before using any other VIPS operations. If you do not call
 * vips_init(), VIPS will call it for you when you use your first VIPS 
 * operation, but
 * it may not be able to get hold of @argv0 and VIPS may therefore be unable
 * to find its data files. It is much better to call this function yourself.
 *
 * vips_init() does approximately the following:
 *
 * <itemizedlist>
 *   <listitem> 
 *     <para>initialises any libraries that VIPS is using, including GObject
 *     and the threading system, if neccessary</para>
 *   </listitem>
 *   <listitem> 
 *     <para>guesses where the VIPS data files are and sets up
 *     internationalisation --- see vips_guess_prefix()
 *     </para>
 *   </listitem>
 *   <listitem> 
 *     <para>creates the main vips types, including VipsImage and friends
 *     </para>
 *   </listitem>
 *   <listitem> 
 *     <para>loads any plugins from $libdir/vips-x.y, where x and y are the
 *     major and minor version numbers for this VIPS.
 *     </para>
 *   </listitem>
 * </itemizedlist>
 *
 * Example:
 *
 * |[
 * int main( int argc, char **argv )
 * {
 *   if( vips_init( argv[0] ) )
 *     vips_error_exit( "unable to start VIPS" );
 *
 *   vips_shutdown();
 *
 *   return( 0 );
 * }
 * ]|
 *
 * See also: vips_shutdown(), vips_get_option_group(), vips_version(), 
 * vips_guess_prefix(), vips_guess_libdir().
