Comment(by markk):

 (In [22923]) Branch libmythui-osd: Add MythRenderOpenGL as a new general
 purpose
 OpenGL context which will replace OpenGLContext for rendering both UI
 elements and video.

 This is largely a lift and shift of the code from OpenGLContext into a
 sub-class of QGLContext with additional functionality for the UI
 rendering aspects. This gives us Qt cross-platform support out of the
 box (with the exception of some screen information) and hence greatly
 simplifies the code base. The downside is that we must use a QGLWidget
 for rendering, it is not yet thread safe under X11 (as we do not have
 access to the underlying X display connection) and, for the time being
 at least, there is no OpenGL vsync support.

 As yet untested on OS X and windows.
