Summary:
Patch from a series of patches to rename EAPI symbols to specific
library DSOs.
= The Rationale =
This patch is from a series of patches to rename EAPI symbols to
specific library DSOs.
EAPI was designed to be able to pass
`__attribute__ ((visibility ("default")))` for symbols with
GCC, which would mean that even if -fvisibility=hidden was used
when compiling the library, the needed symbols would get exported.
MSVC __almost__ works like GCC (or mingw) in which you can
declare everything as export and it will just work (slower, but
it will work). But there's a caveat: global variables will not
work the same way for MSVC, but works for mingw and GCC.
For global variables (as opposed to functions), MSVC requires
correct DSO visibility for MSVC: instead of declaring a symbol as
export for everything, you need to declare it as import when
importing from another DSO and export when defining it locally.
With current EAPI definitions, we get the following example
working in mingw and MSVC (observe it doesn't define any global
variables as exported symbols).
Example 1:
dll1:
```
EAPI void foo(void);
EAPI void bar()
{
foo();
}
```
dll2:
```
EAPI void foo()
{
printf ("foo\n");
}
```
This works fine with API defined as __declspec(dllexport) in both
cases and for gcc defining as
`__atttribute__((visibility("default")))`.
However, the following:
Example 2:
dll1:
```
EAPI extern int foo;
EAPI void foobar(void);
EAPI void bar()
{
foo = 5;
foobar();
}
```
dll2:
```
EAPI int foo = 0;
EAPI void foobar()
{
printf ("foo %d\n", foo);
}
```
This will work on mingw but will not work for MSVC. And that's why
LIBAPI is the only solution that works for MSVC.

this is building parts of efl into a single .so and links all modules
and binaries to it.
The libraries themselfs are build as .a's which are linked together as
.so's. Which is required as every subproject has its little custom
c_flags, which are somtimes conflicting.
After the final .so is then built, all the split up libraries are
replaced with the efl-one. After that the modules and binaries are built
correctly with the correct link on the efl-one parts.

Summary:
before recent times we had to support static and shared building based
on the options of the user, which forced us to complicate our build with
the evas_goal hack. the evas_goal hack more or less was the idea of
"faking" the evas build in the evas directory, finish all the .eo
generation there, then build the modules and make all the static files
ready. Then build everything in evas_goal.
Now, that we just build everything the same always, we can simply build
it in the evas way (removing the evas_goal hack FINALLY), as the same modules
are build statically and shared.
This also gives us the possibility to build the shared image loaders
*again* the the modules directory, which unbreaks peoples build scripts
who packaged loader files seperatly.

appears to work, with this we can also get another step closer to a

with this we don't have any static module anymore in the engine
directory. This means either *all* modules in the enignes directory are
static OR shared. There is no mixture anymore. This is a requirement for
the directory to be build whenever we want it to be build.

the reason for using dependency here is that meson *sometimes* uses
dependency as a wrapper arround finding a dependency, this is usefull if
a known target is having different library names on different OSs. On
macos the cc.find_library was causing errors, since the library is not
called GL there.
This fixes the macos build.
you were not able to disable the header checks, so if the header was not
there it indicated that you could turn it of. However, the option check
was in the has_header if not outside of it. Further more, header checks
are done in the subdirectory that is done for header checks,
unneccessary cpu_**** flags are removed, global optimization options are
added to the global_arguments instead of just the package_c_args, which
leads to the fact that also all binaries etc. are build by default with
those optimization flags.
This also reduces the amount of options to a minimum of 1 option, to
just control if there should be the optimization or not.
This also changes from host_maschine to target_mschine, since we
probebly want to enable the optimization for the target maschine, not
the host.

for bindings we needed a system that could be used to find all special

This uses the meson/ninja depfile functionality + eolian to make
sure proper dependencies between generated files and .eo files
are managed, to ensure consistent re-generation of all generated
files that are affected upon .eo file modification.
For custom rules with multiple outputs, Ninja currently does not
support depfiles. Therefore, split those into two custom rules
so that the depfiles functionality can be enabled. While this
is ugly and slows down the process a little by having to invoke
Eolian twice instead of once, it has to be done and it's still
better than what we had in Autotools anyway.

meson was taken because it went quite good for enlightenment, and is a traction gaining system that is also used by other mayor projects. Additionally, the DSL that is defined my meson makes the configuration of the builds a lot easier to read.
Further informations can be gathered from the README.meson
Right now, bindings & windows support are missing.
It is highly recommented to use meson 0.48 due to optimizations in meson
that reduced the time the meson call would need.
