It proved to be inconvenient that we had a special CoglVector3 typedef
for vectors instead of just accepting pointers to float arrays because
you'd so often end up having to make awkward casts from another vector
type into a CoglVector3 and then cast back again. We're hoping that
taking float pointers instead will lead to less unnecessary casting.
Since we've had several developers from admirable projects say they
would like to use Cogl but would really prefer not to pull in
gobject,gmodule and glib as extra dependencies we are investigating if
we can get to the point where glib is only an optional dependency.
Actually we feel like we only make minimal use of glib anyway, so it may
well be quite straightforward to achieve this.
This adds a --disable-glib configure option that can be used to disable
features that depend on glib.
Actually --disable-glib doesn't strictly disable glib at this point
because it's more helpful if cogl continues to build as we make
incremental progress towards this.
The first use of glib that this patch tackles is the use of
g_return_val_if_fail and g_return_if_fail which have been replaced with
equivalent _COGL_RETURN_VAL_IF_FAIL and _COGL_RETURN_IF_FAIL macros.

In cogl_quaternion_init_from_array we were passing the address of the x
component as the destination for memcpy, but that was wrong at least
because w is actually the first member in the structure. Another
concern raised was whether it was safe to assume that there was no
padding within the CoglQuaternion struct with some compilers so we also
switch to explicitly indexing each element of the array we want to copy.
In practice I think it's pretty safe to assume that padding will only be
introduced to ensure members are naturally aligned, but being explicit
is readable and it can't hurt to be extra cautious.
Another good catch in bug #655228 was that in
cogl_quaternion_get_rotation_axis we had a copy and paste error at the
end where we finally extract the axis and we were repeatedly calculating
just the x component. Now we calculate the y and z components too.
Thanks to Bug #655228 for identifying these issues.

This adds an experimental CoglEuler data type and the following new
functions:
cogl_euler_init
cogl_euler_init_from_matrix
cogl_euler_init_from_quaternion
cogl_euler_equal
cogl_euler_copy
cogl_euler_free
cogl_quaternion_init_from_euler
Since this is experimental API you need to define
COGL_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_API before including cogl.h
This adds an experimental quaternion utility API. It's not yet fully
documented but it's complete enough that people can start to experiment
with using it. It adds the following functions:
cogl_quaternion_init_identity

cogl_quaternion_init_from_angle_vector
cogl_quaternion_init_from_array
cogl_quaternion_init_from_x_rotation
cogl_quaternion_init_from_y_rotation
cogl_quaternion_init_from_z_rotation

Since it's experimental API you'll need to define
COGL_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_API before including cogl.h.
