[Cogl] Path API Introspection problems

[Robert Bragg]

Just talking about this briefly with Lionel, in the office, it seems
like the best course of action here is create a separate gir file for
cogl-path.

Although that has a small backwards compatibility problem, it seems
that anyone who has been depending on Cogl's .gir file information up
until now has been very lucky really that anything worked at all,
considering that we never paid any attention to it beyond exposing a
few boxed types required for clutter's api.

It would be quite tricky to add the path api to back cogl's gir file
considering that we now build cogl-path separately after cogl and so
we'd need to defer generating the gir file until cogl-path had been
built via some automake gymnastics.

Hopefully this won't be too much trouble for the Pitivi devs and we
can hopefully help them adapt to having separate introspection data
for cogl-path.

Regards,
Robert
