Mike Blumenkrantz 86656e4df9 compositor rewrite / charlie-foxtrot situation
huge fustercluck commit because there wasn't really a way to separate out the changes. better to just rip it all out at once.

* compositor and window management completely rewritten. this was the goal for E19, but it pretty much required everything existing to be scrapped since it wasn't optimized, streamlined, or sensible. now instead of having the compositor strapped to the window manager like an outboard motor, it's housed more like an automobile engine.

** various comp structs have been merged into other places (eg. E_Comp_Zone is now just part of E_Zone where applicable), leading to a large deduplication of attributes

** awful E_Comp_Win is totally dead, having been replaced with e_comp_object smart objects which work just like normal canvas objects

** protocol-specific window management and compositor functionality is now kept exclusively in backend files

** e_pixmap api provides generic client finding and rendering api

** screen/xinerama screens are now provided directly by compositor on startup and re-set on change

** e_comp_render_update finally replaced with eina_tiler

** wayland compositor no longer creates X windows

** compositor e_layout removed entirely

* e_container is gone. this was made unnecessary in E18, but I kept it to avoid having too much code churn in one release. its sole purpose was to catch some events and handle window stacking, both of which are now just done by the compositor infra

* e_manager is just for screensaver and keybind stuff now, possibly remove later?

* e_border is gone along with a lot of its api. e_client has replaced it, and e_client has been rewritten completely; some parts may be similar, but the design now relies upon having a functional compositor

** window configuration/focus functions are all removed. all windows are now managed solely with evas_object_X functions on the "frame" member of a client, just as any other canvas object can be managed.

*** do NOT set interceptors on a client's comp_object. seriously.

* startup order rewritten: compositor now starts much earlier, other things just use attrs and members of the compositor

* ecore_x_pointer_xy_get usage replaced with ecore_evas_pointer_xy_get

* e_popup is totally gone, existing usage replaced by e_comp_object_util_add where applicable, otherwise just placed normally on the canvas

* deskmirror is (more) broken for now

* illume is totally fucked

* Ecore_X_Window replaced with Ecore_Window in most cases

* edge binding XWindows replaced with regular canvas objects

* some E_Win functionality has changed such that delete callbacks are now correctly called in ALL cases. various dialogs have been updated to not crash as a result

comp files and descriptions:

e_comp.c - overall compositor functions, rendering/update loop, shape cutting

e_comp_x.c - X window management and compositor functionality

e_comp_wl.c - Wayland surface management and compositor functionality

e_comp_canvas.c - general compositor canvas functions and utilities

e_comp_object.c - E_Client->frame member for managing clients as Evas_Objects, utility functions for adding objects to the compositor rendering systems

README

Enlightenment 0.18.0

Requirements:
-------------

Must:
  libc libm libX11 libXext evas ecore ecore-evas ecore-file ecore-ipc ecore-con
  ecore-imf ecore-x edje eet embryo efreet e_dbus eio
  xcb xcb-shape xcb-keysyms
  [png loader in evas, jpeg loader in evas, eet loader in evas, software_x11
  engine in evas, buffer engine in evas]

NOTE: Users of DR16 will need to rename the $prefix/bin/enlightenment
file prior to installing DR18 or it will be overwritten.

You can also use the configure --prefix option to put e17 in a separate tree
of its own (recommended) like:

  ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/e18

You will, as usual, need to add the subsequent bin dir to your $PATH etc.


NOTES:

* do NOT use -mfpmath=sse in CFLAGS - we are not sure, but it may have bugs
and screws up things in edje, evas and e17. if your gcc uses this by default
(which apparently gcc4.x does on amd64), turn it off with a -fpmath=387 in
your CFLAGS.

* your freetype2 version must be > 2.1.7

* if you do not want security issues make sure sysactions.conf is in
/etc/enlightenment (not PREFIX/etc/enlightenment) as this is the first place
it looks at. This file is intended to be customized by packagers and
system integrators to match your policies and scripts/tools.
