Waffle is a library that helps an application initialize OpenGL. The
web-page for the project is at:
http://people.freedesktop.org/~chadversary/waffle/

A very simple application that uses waffle is in the waffle source tree:
https://github.com/waffle-gl/waffle/blob/master/examples/gl_basic.c

Currently Waffle works on Linux, Mac and android, but it does not yet
work with Windows.

The piglit OpenGL test suite also uses Waffle. One of the mail goals
for Waffle support on Windows is to allow piglit to also use Waffle on
Windows.

I updated the http://www.x.org/wiki/SummerOfCodeIdeas/ wiki page with
some possible sub-goals for this task.
