1. A method for the production of synthesis gas, the method including producing an oxygen-containing stream in an air separation unit;humidifying the oxygen-containing stream by contacting the oxygen-containing stream with a hot aqueous liquid to produce a humidified oxygen-containing stream;said humidifying of the oxygen-containing stream including heating the oxygen-containing stream by directly contacting the oxygen-containing stream with the hot aqueous liquid; andfeeding the humidified heated oxygen-containing stream into a low temperature non-slagging gasifier in which a carbonaceous material is being gasified, thereby to produce synthesis gas, the gasifier forming part of a complex for Fischer-Tropsch hydrocarbon synthesis and which produces reaction water, with the oxygen-containing stream being contacted with said reaction water, and in which the reaction water includes oxygenated hydrocarbons, with at least some of these oxygenated hydrocarbons being taken up by the oxygen-containing stream during humidification. 2. The method as claimed in claim 1, in which the humidified oxygen-containing stream being fed into the gasifier is at a temperature of at least 160° C. 3. The method as claimed in claim 1, in which the humidified oxygen-containing stream being fed into the gasifier has a water concentration of at least 3% by volume. 4. The method as claimed in claim 3, in which the humidified oxygen-containing stream being fed into the gasifier has a water concentration of between 40% and 90% by volume. 5. The method as claimed in claim 1, in which the oxygen-containing stream is humidified in more than one humidification stage. 6. The method as claimed in claim 1, in which the oxygen-containing stream is contacted with water used as cooling water. 7. The method as claimed in claim 1, in which the oxygen-containing stream is contacted with hot water having a conductivity less than 120 microSiemens which is used in a substantially closed circuit. 8. The method as claimed in claim 1, in which the oxygen-containing stream is contacted with water used as cooling water to cool a compressed gaseous stream in the air separation unit producing the oxygen-containing stream. 9. The method as claimed in claim 1, in which the oxygen-containing stream is contacted with water used to cool reaction product from a hydrocarbon synthesis stage. 10. The method as claimed in claim 9, in which the water is reaction water. 11. The method as claimed in claim 1, which includes operating a boiler stage and in which the oxygen-containing stream is contacted with boiler blow-down water. 12. The method as claimed in claim 11, in which the flow rate of boiler blow-down water is increased above what is strictly required for boiler operation, and in which boiler stage feed water is preheated in indirect heat exchange with one or more hot process streams. 13. The method as claimed in claim 11, in which the boiler blow-down water, with an increased dissolved oxygen concentration, is returned after humidifying the oxygen-containing stream as feed water to the boiler stage. 14. The method as claimed in claim 1, which includes feeding steam to the gasifier as a gasification agent, the steam and the humidified oxygen-containing streams being combined before being fed to the gasifier. 15. The method as claimed in claim 1, in which the gasifier is a fixed bed dry bottom gasifier, with the humidified oxygen-containing stream, steam and solid carbonaceous material being fed into said gasifier so that the carbonaceous material is gasified in the presence of oxygen and steam to produce synthesis gas and ash, the method including removing the synthesis gas and ash from the gasifier.
