glmixer can be seen as a glfilter except it handles N requested
sink pads.
Each sink pad and the src pad are video/x-raw-gl.
glmixer is responsible for managing different framerates from inputs.
It uses OpenGL context sharing. It means that each input is in its
own OpenGL context shared together and shared with the OpenGL context
of the ouput gl chain.
Also add a glmosaic which is an example of implementation of glmixer.
For now glmosaic is a cube but it will be fixed in the next commits.
For now the glmixer has some weird behaviours in some configurations
but it will be improved in the next commits.
The autotools builds is temporarly broken since those changes
have been made on win32.
Before, a gstgldisplay was instancied by the gl src in terms of gl chain.
And then the next element got it through the first gstglbuffer.
Now, this is done though queries.
All glelements get their ref on a gstgldisplay in READY state.
This rewrite is mainly a first step to be able to share OpenGL context hold
by the gstgldisplay using more complex glelements.
For example, with a glvideomixer. The associated gstgldisplay of each gl chain
of the sink pads will share their OpenGL context.
Fixes bug #584877
Before this commit calling "gst_x_overlay_set_xwindow_id" more
than one time, had no effect.
It mainly affects the glimagesink implementation.
But on win32 (and CE), some stuff has to be done to
release the old parent.
And add a switchxoverlay example where the user
can click on left/right part of the main window to
switch the xoverlay.
The external opengl context must be specify when creating
our OpenGL context (glx) or just after (wgl).
When calling glXCreateContext or wglShareLists, the
external opengl context must not be current.
Then our gl context can be current in the gl thread while
the external gl context is current in an other thread.

In OpenGL 2.x for Embedded System, a lot of basic scene/draw functions
have been removed. It means that everything is made using vertex and
fragment shaders.
I have also added a gstglwindow backend for winCE that uses EGL
(Native Platform Graphics Intercace) (which is a full part of
OpenGL ES specification). It remove the use of wgl/glx functions.
This reverts commit 96e4ab18c2cf9876f6c031b9aba6282d0bd45a93.
You should have asked first. And you would have been told "no",
because it causes people on development branches to do a huge
amount of extra work.
