Every cell of the console contains one single printable character. We want to be
Unicode compatible so we must support combined characters. Hence, each cell
consists of a UTF-8 string that can be drawn by pango as a single glyph.

Add dummy files for the console subsystem. This subsystem will be used to draw a
console to a framebuffer. It uses pango and cairo for text-rendering and will
provide all required modification functions that the terminal emulation will
require.

This makefile can be used to build kmscon and the test suite. It is quite rough
and will later or sooner be replaced by a proper build-tool like autotools.

The test_output application is an example how to use the output subsystem. It
lists all connected monitors/DRM-outputs and draws with OpenGL on the selected
framebuffers.

The output subsystem manages the connected monitors, provides framebuffers and
OpenGL contexts and handles all DRM/DRI/KMS related functionality.

The kmscon application is a terminal emulator which runs on a native linux DRI
device. It uses linux KMS and DRI to get a working OpenGL context without the
need of an X-Server, Wayland or similar.
It is an attempt to replace the in-kernel VT emulator with a full userspace
console.
