      <application>Cogl</application> is a modern 3D graphics API with associated
      utility APIs designed to expose the features of 3D graphics hardware using
      a direct state access API design, as opposed to the state-machine style

    <para>
      All of the tests except for the ES2 and ES2-NPT tests are broken due to
      slight behavior changes in Mesa. To test the results anyway, issue:
      <command>make check</command>. The tests should be run from an X terminal
      on a hardware accelerated Xorg Server. A few tests will use all CPUs in
      parallel, regardless of parallellism settings.
