The configure followed 5 different convetions of defines because the next guy
always wanted to introduce a new better way to uniform it[1]. For an
hypothetic feature 'hurr' you could have had:
* #define HAVE_HURR 1 / #undef HAVE_DURR
* #define HAVE_HURR / #undef HAVE_DURR
* #define CONFIG_HURR 1 / #undef CONFIG_DURR
* #define HAVE_HURR 1 / #define HAVE_DURR 0
* #define CONFIG_HURR 1 / #define CONFIG_DURR 0
All is now uniform and uses:
* #define HAVE_HURR 1
* #define HAVE_DURR 0
We like definining to 0 as opposed to `undef` bcause it can help spot typos
and is very helpful when doing big reorganizations in the code.

Problem: I own the buffer and I destroyed while still being displayed.
Solution: Add a temporary buffer and destroy it when the next buffer is
attached.
Make use of opaque regions on non-alpha formats. This allows the compositor to
improve the drawing of the surface, because he can discard everything behind
the window when drawing.
A wayland output based on shared memory. This video output is useful for x11
free systems, because the current libGL in mesa provides GLX symbols. It is also
useful for embedded systems where the wayland backend for EGL is not
implemented like the raspberry pi.
At the moment only rgb formats are supported, because there is still no
compositor which supports planar formats like yuv420p. The most used compositor
at the moment, weston, supports only BGR0, BGRA and BGR16 (565).
The BGR16 format is the fastest to convert and render without any noticeable
differences to the BGR32 formats. For this reason the current (very basic)
auto-detection code will prefer the BGR16 format. Also the weston source code
indicates that the preferred format is BGR16 (RGB565).
There are 2 options:
* default-format (yes|no) Which uses the BGR32 format
* alpha (yes|no) For outputting images and videos with transparencies
