2014-05-16  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

	* EcAlarmDestination.m: Perform all connection operations in
	main thread (forwarding etc) and ensure that we run the
	current run loop while waiting for startup and shutdown.
	* EcLogger.m: Use floating point flush interval for modern
	systems which run faster and might want to flush more than
	once per second.
	* EcProcess.m: Don't start handling timeouts until the
	process is actually running (so we don't get any during
	initialisation of the class).
	* GNUmakefile: bump subminor version number for release
	Version 1.1.3 release
