Plugins define the interface specified in plugin.h and have
full access to any functions exposed in mkxp.
Specify plugins to be loaded in the config file via
'plugin=/path/to/plugin.so' lines.
A sample plugin for the MRI binding is provided.
I think the reason this was originally done was some
issue with ruby's GC where it would wrongfully sweep
the script array variable on the C stack.
This change should speed up startup a little.
This looks like a pretty major change, but in reality,
80% of it is just renames of types and corresponding
methods.
The config parsing code has been completely replaced
with a boost::program_options based version. This
means that the config file format slightly changed
(checkout the updated README).
I still expect there to be bugs / unforseen events.
Those should be fixed in follow up commits.
Also, finally reverted back to using pkg-config to
locate and link libruby. Yay for less hacks!
An exception is made of TexPool, which will need a
bit more testing before transitioning to std containers.
Also replace 'int' with 'size_t' where it is used only
as an array index.
The general rule I'm aiming for is to <> include
system wide / installed paths / generally everything
that's outside the git managed source tree (this means
mruby paths too!), and "" include everything else,
ie. local mkxp headers.
The only current exception are the mri headers, which
all have './' at their front as to not clash with
system wide ruby headers. I'm leaving them be for now
until I can come up with a better general solution.
Using "SDL2/SDL_xxx.h" instead of "SDL_xxx.h" caused
the include paths provided by pkg-config to be ignored,
and headers from a standard include path to be used instead.
