Because:
* We have a bug in our scripts that makes extracomment not work (will try to fix this asap)
* Makes sense to be a comment since we want it to be a disambiguation text
* KUIT markers (e.g. @label) need to be in comment
The new build option restricts the building of effects to those
useable for Plasma Active:
* blur
* dialogparent
* fade
* login
* outline
* presentwindows
* slidingpopups
* taskbarthumbnails
* screenshot
Additionally all effect KCMs are excluded from building in the
assumption that when building with this option, KWIN_BUILD_KCMS
is turned off.

For now there is autostart support on all screens and support for different resolutions on different screens.
Keyboard shortcuts are still TODO

BUG: 256242
Adding a new method to retrieve whether the OpenGL implementation
uses any kind of software emulation and no software emulation can
provide GLSL support, even if it claims so.
Thanks to Maurel for testing again and again proposed patches.
BUG: 271166
Optimize the region of the screen that's painted in each frame,
and paint the windows top-to-bottom when the damaged region doesn't
intersect any blurred areas.
As KWin requires at least Mesa 7.10 for OpenGL we can be sure
that all Mesa drivers support DRI2 and can enable direct rendering
for it.
Parsing the version string to identify if it is a mesa driver.
This can cause breakage again in future versions of Mesa.
Unfortunately version, vendor and renderer are the only information
queryable just with OpenGL API.
BUG: 270942
FIXED-IN: 4.7.0
This fixes most of the rendering issues with cube in multi
screen setups and GLSL backend. For cylinder and sphere the
rendering of areas between screen is currently disabled if
using the GLSL backend. It needs adjustments to use another
vertex shader. Not sure if it is worth the effort.
Setting option "GLLegacy" to true in config group "Compositing"
will disable all GLSL shaders and kwin uses the legacy OpenGL 1
code pathes. Obviously the option is ignored with GLES.
As my Qt Designer is refusing to work, there is no GUI option yet.
If OpenGL compositing is tried in GLX with a Mesa driver not
at least 7.10 we stop OpenGL compositing.
For OpenGL ES we just assume that all Mesa drivers are fine, so
no requirement.
