Felipe Magno de Almeida 2fa81c36b5 evas: Rename EAPI macro to EVAS_API in Evas library
evil: Rename EAPI macro to EVIL_API in Evil library

Patch 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
EAPI is the only solution that worked for MSVC.

Vincent Torri c15e9c6575 merge: and now Evas
I've tested make -j 3 install and it works nicely

I've tested expedite with software and opengl xlib,
and it works. Not tested other engines, so please
report any problems (engines or other) on the ML.

TODO: examples and tests, I'll add them later

ISSUE: Eina_Unicode size check. It indirectly depends on
       eina_config.h, which is created at the end of the
       configure script. So its size is always 0. I don't
       know how that size is used, so I can't do a lot,
       for now.
