Subject: [E-devel] [Review] [Patch] Evas - OpenGL on Evas: surface
texture creation patch

I'm attaching a patch that addresses the awkward usage case. It's something
that didn't bother me initially but the more I look at it, i think
it's a little off. :-)

The initial version of the evas_gl that I've submitted had the
following use case.

   evasgl = evas_gl_new(e);
   sfc = evas_gl_surface_create(...);
   ctx = evas_gl_context_create(...);

// Make current triggers surface texture and FBO to be created
   evas_gl_make_current(evasgl, sfc, ctx);

// Then you can do a surface_get to retrieve the proper texture and set it
   evas_gl_native_surface_get(evasgl, sfc, &ns);
   evas_object_image_native_surface_set(img_obj, &ns);
   
   The unnatural thing about this use case is that you have to call the make_current
one time in order for evas_gl to generate a surface texture.  This is because
you need a context to create a texture.  Unfortunately, this makes the usage
case really awkward.

So, instead, I've decided to get rid of the need for calling the make_current
by generating a surface texture when evas_gl_surface_create() is called
by using the evas' gl context.  This works because the newly created context
shares resources with evas.  in fact, this is what i'm currently doing with surface
deletion anyway so I thought this solution was reasonable.

Here's how it looks after you get rid of the make_current:

   evasgl = evas_gl_new(e);
   sfc = evas_gl_surface_create(...);
   ctx = evas_gl_context_create(...);

   evas_gl_native_surface_get(evasgl, sfc, &ns);
   evas_object_image_native_surface_set(img_obj, &ns);

The patch is pretty small and straightforward.
