16a09763ef [cogl-material] Adds cogl_material_copy() API
cogl_material_copy can be used to create a new CoglHandle referencing a copy
of some given material.

From now on we will advise that developers always aim to use this function
instead of cogl_material_new() when creating a material that is in any way
derived from another.

By using cogl_material_copy, Cogl can maintain an ancestry for each material
and keep track of "similar" materials.  The plan is that Cogl will use this
information to minimize the cost of GPU state transitions.

80783abf89 docs: Documentation fixes for CoglMaterial
Clean up the references, the docbook tags, and the style to fit in
with the rest of the API references for Cogl and Clutter.

The 'Since' annotation needs to have a colon after it or gtk-doc won't
pick it up.

0bce7eac53 Intial Re-layout of the Cogl source code and introduction of a Cogl Winsys
As part of an incremental process to have Cogl be a standalone project we
want to re-consider how we organise the Cogl source code.

Currently this is the structure I'm aiming for:
cogl/
    cogl/
	<put common source here>
	winsys/
	   cogl-glx.c
	   cogl-wgl.c
	driver/
	    gl/
	    gles/
	os/ ?
    utils/
	cogl-fixed
	cogl-matrix-stack?
        cogl-journal?
        cogl-primitives?
    pango/

The new winsys component is a starting point for migrating window system
code (i.e.  x11,glx,wgl,osx,egl etc) from Clutter to Cogl.

The utils/ and pango/ directories aren't added by this commit, but they are
noted because I plan to add them soon.

Overview of the planned structure:

* The winsys/ API is the API that binds OpenGL to a specific window system,
  be that X11 or win32 etc.  Example are glx, wgl and egl. Much of the logic
  under clutter/{glx,osx,win32 etc} should migrate here.

* Note there is also the idea of a winsys-base that may represent a window
  system for which there are multiple winsys APIs.  An example of this is
  x11, since glx and egl may both be used with x11.  (currently only Clutter
  has the idea of a winsys-base)

* The driver/ represents a specific varient of OpenGL. Currently we have "gl"
  representing OpenGL 1.4-2.1 (mostly fixed function) and "gles" representing
  GLES 1.1 (fixed funciton) and 2.0 (fully shader based)

* Everything under cogl/ should fundamentally be supporting access to the
  GPU.  Essentially Cogl's most basic requirement is to provide a nice GPU
  Graphics API and drawing a line between this and the utility functionality
  we add to support Clutter should help keep this lean and maintainable.

* Code under utils/ as suggested builds on cogl/ adding more convenient
  APIs or mechanism to optimize special cases. Broadly speaking you can
  compare cogl/ to OpenGL and utils/ to GLU.

* clutter/pango will be moved to clutter/cogl/pango

How some of the internal configure.ac/pkg-config terminology has changed:
backendextra -> CLUTTER_WINSYS_BASE # e.g. "x11"
backendextralib -> CLUTTER_WINSYS_BASE_LIB # e.g. "x11/libclutter-x11.la"
clutterbackend -> {CLUTTER,COGL}_WINSYS # e.g. "glx"
CLUTTER_FLAVOUR -> {CLUTTER,COGL}_WINSYS
clutterbackendlib -> CLUTTER_WINSYS_LIB
CLUTTER_COGL -> COGL_DRIVER # e.g. "gl"

Note: The CLUTTER_FLAVOUR and CLUTTER_COGL defines are kept for apps

As the first thing to take advantage of the new winsys component in Cogl;
cogl_get_proc_address() has been moved from cogl/{gl,gles}/cogl.c into
cogl/common/cogl.c and this common implementation first trys
_cogl_winsys_get_proc_address() but if that fails then it falls back to
gmodule.
