Effective for the case where we have a platform that does not
require a native window. We require a mainloop to run the GL
commands which is currently operated by GstGLWindow.
GstGLDisplayX11 holds the display connection and name. Each thread requires
it's own X11 Display connection (initialised from name) due to the fact that
we do not want to call XInitThreads(). Doing so would result in segfaults
when integrating with GUI toolkits Gtk, Qt, etc.
The Display connection is for OpenGL platforms where a constant display is
required in order to share contexts (egl). In the case of a wrapped context
(added later), we do not have GstGLWindow to retreive the display from so a
'master' connection is used instead.
Write forward declarations in another way to avoid
repeated typedefs "error: redefinition of typedef".
Raised when using i686-apple-darwin11-llvm-gcc-4.2
It seems that C apple compiler does not support
C11 feature.

Indeed 'glXMakeCurrent (window_x11->device, None, NULL);'
has to be called in the thread where the glcontext is actually
current.
Otherwise glXDestroyContext may crash.
The window's loop could be still running when _finalize is called
and if we destroy the display connection it will never be closed.
Add _open and _close vfuncs to GstGLWindow so that subclasses can
start up and shutdown at the right time.
- Make GstGLWindow subclassablerather than specified at compile time.
- Add GstGLWindowX11 for x11 windows and two subclasses, GstGLWindowX11GLX
and GstGLWindwX11EGL for GLX and EGL repectively. (win32 and cocoa
ports to come)
- Also cleanup GL library detection in configure.ac
