Awesome, Thanks!

The *_iface was always a eye sore in the interface but it could be
avoided since st_context and st_framebuffer was already taken by the
gl state tracker. One would have to be crazy to go over the files with
sed and change all the reference, I guess I'm crazy... I have attached
three patches does exactly this. Everything compiles between and works
between each patch but a lot of warnings are generated, but I think I
squashed them all in the last patch. They should probably be squashed
if we want to use them, I like to get somebody sensible to weigh in on
this matter before we do anything with them.

Cheers Jakob.
