Planning some "de-bloating"

Having finally finished my finals, I look into removing some bloat from the library. By "bloat", I refer to stuff that is of no real use, or stuff that can be simplified. Also, it is quite important to clean-up the source code, which is messed up in quite a few places, and remove some APIs that are not really needed anymore, e.g. the Framerate API, which is not needed since SDL got Vsync support.

Many bug fixes for OpenGL

The last two days I sat down to finally solve the crashes and stack corruptions that occured from SDLU_GL_RenderCacheState() and SDLU_GL_RenderRestoreState() under Windows (Visual Studio and CodeBlocks).

AND, it seems that all of this was successful, since the functions now work as expected. Please get the latest version [ SDLU-2.1-102 ] from bitbucket if you have been experiencing those errors.

Please test the new SDLU.framework

About two weeks ago I added 'frameworkbuild.sh', which would build SDLU.framework under Mac OS X. This script suffered from a few issues, like building the library on the fly and depending on some hard-coded stuff.

Recently, I moved this functionality into the CMake build system, by adding an extra option BUILD_FRAMEWORK. Please test this out and report any bugs in the issue tracker.
