speedups when the calling application knows the dirty rectangle covered by
a complex operation.

current canvas. This is useful to export dirty rectangles. Accordingly,
add caca_import_area_from_memory() and caca_import_area_from_file().

a more natural (x,y,w,h) 4-tuple to handle.

inner implementation still only handles one dirty rectangle, but this way
we can prepare supporting applictions for the future.

Dirty rectangles are an upcoming optimisation that will tell the output
drivers which portion of the canvas has been really modified since the
last blit.

are almost there.

split is rendered moot by the plugin system: when enabled, binaries do
not link directly with libX11 or libGL. I hope this is a step towards
more consisteny and clarity.

far better for error checking.

completely breaks compatibility with previous versions of libcaca on
    64-bit systems.

prototypes. As they are equivalent, this does not break the ABI.

applications. I'll think of a migration path later.

without using environment variables..
  * Implement caca_get_display_driver() to return the current display's
    output driver.
  * Add a simple example program to test caca_create_display_with_driver().

accordingly.
  * The C++ test example no longer needs "config.h".

we don’t end with those ugly identifiers in the documentation.

create a canvas when so.
  * Add caca_get_canvas() to retrieve the cucul canvas.

    break your software, sorry :(

* Manually export private libcaca symbols.

such as "man tutorial" showing the libcaca tutorial on Debian systems.

caca_set_display_time() and caca_get_display_time() for consistency.

* Renamed canvas handle variables from "c" to "cv". Eh ouais mon gros.

such as cucul_dither_t instead of struct cucul_dither.
  * Made cucul_buffer_t an opaque structure and implemented the two getters
    cucul_get_buffer_data() and cucul_get_buffer_size().
  * Documented all missing functions and function parameters.

remove redundencies in the Doxygen documentation.

environment variables handling. Replaced that with three per-bitmap
    functions: cucul_set_bitmap_antialias(), cucul_set_bitmap_color() and
    cucul_set_bitmap_dithering().
  * Added cucul_set_bitmap_brightness() and cucul_set_bitmap_contrast()
    prototypes (but did not implement them yet).
  * Added cucul_set_bitmap_charset() to choose what characters are going
    to be used for the bitmap rendering.
  * Removed the now useless cucul_get_feature(), cucul_set_feature() etc.

that has all the functionality, except it does not work yet (the stdin
    reading routine is missing).
