Currently bindings/eina-cxx/{eina_clone_allocators.hh, eina_list.hh,
eina_array.hh} include Eo.h, so it's actually already a dependency. This
patch just reflects it in eina-cxx.pc.
Summary:
This patch adds 'eolian_cxx' -- a C++ bindings generator --
to the EFL tree. Eolian Cxx uses Eolian API to read .eo files and generate
.eo.hh. It relies/depends on Eo Cxx and Eina Cxx (both non-generated
bindings).
src/bin/eolian_cxx: The eolian_cxx program.
src/lib/eolian_cxx: A header-only library that implements the C++ code
generation that binds the .eo classes.
=Examples=
src/examples/eolian_cxx/eolian_cxx_simple_01.cc: The simplest example,
it just uses some "dummy" generated C++ classes.
src/examples/eolian_cxx/eolian_cxx_inherit_01.cc: Illustrates how
pure C++ classes inherit from .eo generated classes.
src/examples/evas/evas_cxx_rectangle.cc: More realistic example using
the generated bindings Evas Cxx. Still a bit shallow because we don't
have full fledged .eo descriptions yet, but will be improved.
=Important=
The generated code is not supported and not a stable API/ABI. It is
here to gather people interest and get review before we set things in
stone for release 1.11.

The goal of this library is to make the life of C++ developers easier
when having to manipulate Eina datatype by providing a layer to abstract
those data type in C++. Check examples for now. Documentation will come
soon, but we are pushing that rather sooner to get feedback on those bindings.
As you will notice, this library is just composed of headers. There is no .so
and we do think it is better this way. Reducing ABI and API stability issue for
applications developers who are the primary target of this binding.
Also please note that you will need to have C++11 to use this binding.
