so the MAIN loop is actually an efl.app object. which inherits from
efl.loop. the idea is that other loops in threads will not be efl.app
objects. thread on the creator side return an efl.thread object.
inside the thread, like the mainloop, there is now an efl.appthread
object that is for all non-main-loop threads.
every thread (main loop or child) when it spawns a thread is the
parent. there are i/o pipes from parnet to child and back. so parents
are generally expected to, if they want to talk to child thread, so
use the efl.io interfaces on efl.thread, and the main loop's elf.app
class allows you to talk to stdio back to the parent process like the
efl.appthread does the same using the efl.io interfaces to talk to its
parent app or appthread. it's symmetrical
no tests here - sure. i have been holding off on tests until things
settle. that's why i haven't done them yet. those will come back in a
subsequent commit
for really quick examples on using this see:

they are just my test code for this.

Go back to before efl.app because I think this should be done with
superclassing here not a parent object. reasons?
1. multiple loops per single thread make no sense. so if multilpe loop
objects they wont be contained in a single app object and then deleted
like this.
2. the app object is not really sharable in this design so it cant be
accessed from other threads
3. it makes it harder to get the main loop or app object (well 2 func
calls one calling the other and more typing. it is longer to type and
more work where it is not necessary, and again it can't work from
other threads unless we go duplicating efl.app per thread and then
what is the point of splittyign out the signal events from efl.loop
then?)
etc.
This reverts commit 2cea85db38.
Their was a typo that I made during cleanup of the patch before pushing that I didn't
notice broke some stuff. But also you may have an old efl_general.h in your elementary
directory that is now being picked instead of the one provided by the tree.
Revert "elementary: currently double declare elm_init/shutdown."

This reverts commit 814ffb9b6b.
Revert "ecore: remove EFL_OBJECT_BETA as Efl_Core.h is for Efl new inerfaces."
This reverts commit 619d0f3cff.
Revert "ecore: move EAPI_MAIN from elementary to ecore."
This reverts commit e5d84da864.
as such commit e5d84da864 starts the
breaking. enlightenment, terminologya and other apps can't compile
against that efl anymore. 619d0f3cff
then makes this even worse with even more header errors and undefined
types. on top of this df3d3f7334 then
starts making elementary_test segfault when it runs. it wont even
start up.
asu such of these 7 commits in the first 4 (that are then relied on
later) 3 of these first 4 cause serious breakage. this simply is a
complete lack of testing changes, so i've rolled fl back to before
these things so it builds and works again and you can build against it.
PLEASE test these things. this looks ot me to be obviously a lack of
any testing... :(
This make EFL_MAIN available and working with just Ecore. For simplicity
it is available with Efl_Core.h. Ideally it should also work with Efl_Net.h
alone and finally with an Efl_Ui.h.
