Should we add -Wno-unused-function to CFLAGS when dealing with a version 
of clang that complains about that version of glib's headers?  Is it 
fixed in a newer version of glib, where we could just backport a newer 
definition of G_DEFINE_AUTOPTR_CLEANUP_FUNC() that adds whatever 
annotations are needed to shut the compiler up?

On IRC, danpb pointed me to libvirt's solution:
https://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commit;h=44e7f029

Maybe we just write our own macro wrapper around 
G_DEFINE_AUTOPTR_CLEANUP_FUNC which takes care of adding necessary 
annotations and use that instead (and our macro name might be shorter...)
