I've resisted relying on pkg-config in the hope that hard-coded include and
library paths would suffice. However, apart from having to work around some
distro-specific differences, building with hardcoded include paths fails when
building on a buildroot:
x86_64-buildroot-linux-gnu-gcc: ERROR: unsafe header/library path used in cross-compilation: '-I/usr/include/wayland'
(see #91)
Andri mentions a workaround (prefixing paths with "="), but that doesn't seem
to work on the BSDs.
Let's see how pkg-config fares. It's an extra dependency, but it promises to keep
us isolated from the varying paths on Linux distrobutions.

A recent change made the OpenGL functions an interface of the functions
required for the implementation of GPU, a renderer for Gio operations.
That allowed for running Gio on external systems where OpenGL is
available.
However, to allow for non-OpenGL flavored backends such as Vulkan,
Metal and Direct3D, this change introduces Backend for the high-level
operations required by GPU. This change also adds a concrete backend
to package gl.
Type Backend is a first cut heavily based on OpenGL. Future changes will add
more backends, where the Backend interface quite possibly will need refinement.

The rendering implementation is needed for using Gio UI with external
window libraries such as GLFW. Expose it in the new package gpu.
