When using glfw via mono/tao you need a glfw.so, but there is no dynamic
library
build for x11 at all. This patch adds a target in the Makefile.in to build it.

Furthermore glfw apps don't start on xfree > 4.3 due a bug in glfw. There is a
bad window error message. I found a quick hack on their mailing list, but
although it resolves the problem the patch didn't go into the latest version.
The second patch contains the quick hack. 

Reproducible: Always

Revised version of "the complete ebuild"

Updated ebuild for shared library to match most recent glfw ebuild in portage.
Removed line that applies the "Bad Window error" fix because the problem
doesn't seem to affect modular x.

It's been a long time - can these changes be added to portage or is there a
reason they haven't been.

When I build it, I get:

QA Notice: the following shared libraries lack a SONAME
 /var/tmp/portage/glfw-2.5.0/image/usr/lib/libglfw.so

------- Comment #10 From James Brown 2006-12-08 17:26:00 0000 ------- 
This patch fixed problems with compiling Io that were really starting to tic me
off... Is there any reason why it's not in Portage yet?

------- Comment #11 From Mr. Bones. 2006-12-09 12:47:15 0000 ------- 
yeah, fix what I mentioned in comment #9

Please, next time, attach as text/plain

Missing soname fixed (hopefully) and new ebuild is in portage. Thanks
