Yet another branch that I missed, duh. Guess I'll have some merging to 
do. :-)

In the meantime, I've configured GitLab's CI system to check Gambas 
builds on a few distributions (I'll add more later, the wiki also needs 
to be updated). The MR is here[0], I'm just waiting on Benoît's agreement.

Not only will it help with the current build issues shenenigans (no need 
to wait for everybody to try building on their own system to make a new 
release), but it will also provide a way to automatically run all tests 
after each commits.

Even though the CI setup is very basic right now, it already revealed 
that older Debian systems can't build Gambas right now since the Poppler 
fixes. Hopefully now that CI is here there won't be too many regressions 
on that front!
