/**
 * Macro for asynchronous methods which use a GAsyncReadyCallback to
 * indicate completion. The assumption is that there is a matching
 * _finish function for the function which starts the operation.
 *
 * The boost::function callback will be called exactly once, with the
 * following parameters:
 * - return value of the _finish call, if non-void
 * - all return parameters of the _finish call, in the order
 *   in which they appear there
 * - a GError is passed as "const GError *", with NULL if the
 *   _finish function did not set an error; it does not have to
 *   be freed.
 *
 * Other parameters must be freed if required by the _finish semantic.
 *
 * Use boost::bind() with a boost::weak_ptr as second
 * parameter when the callback belongs to an instance which is
 * not guaranteed to be around when the operation completes.
 *
 * Example:
 *
 *  static void asyncCB(const GError *gerror, const char *func, bool &failed, bool &done) {
 *      done = true;
