Bug 114983 – [GTK] Enable introspection always for developer builds

• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebKitGTK

[Martin Robinson]

If we enable introspection always we can sniff out issues sooner and turn the EWS bubble red when API is introduced without proper annotations.

Be good to make it obvious you're talking about the scanner build here.

Is girscanner still verbose enough to help debug issues shown by the EWS after replacing -v with --quiet here? Other than that it's a great idea, and the patch looks OK to me.

Sound good.

When not in quiet mode, g-ir-scanner prints the command-line it uses to compile the scanning program, which, for us, is many lines long. On the other hand it does print out the details of any problems it finds when --quiet is active.
