Hi Eric,

my alternative take on this can be found in the WIP branch
'gl-replace-builtin-shader-variables':

http://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=people/afrantzis/cairo.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/gl-replace-builtin-shader-variables

I am using a ModelViewProjectionMatrix custom uniform to pass the
transformation to the shader.

I am tempted to say that my approach may be more efficient, as the per
vertex tranformation is happening in the GPU instead of the CPU.
However, I haven't benchmarked this yet, so I 'll wait until I have more
information before I make any bold statements.

Thanks,
Alexandros
