a frame (--frame-end).
glmark2 2012.02 (20120216)
==========================
* Consolidate X11 and Android main loops.
* Accept command-line options on Android through either a file
('/data/glmark2/args') or an extra intent key ('args').
* Support per-scene options for displaying an FPS count on screen
(show-fps, fps-pos, fps-size), and remove --show-fps command-line option.
* Support per-scene options for displaying a benchmark title on screen
(title, title-pos, title-size).
* Add command-line option to run benchmarks indefinitely (--run-forever).
* Add command-line option to annotate the benchmarks with on-screen
information (--annotate == -b :show-fps=true:title=#info#).

* Fix build issues on Android ICS.
glmark2 2012.01 (20120119)
==========================
* X11:
- Run each benchmark in a fresh GL context. Use --reuse-context
to revert to the old default behavior of using the same context
for all benchmarks.
- Add option for showing a live FPS counter on screen (--show-fps).
- If the list of benchmarks to run contains only option-setting
descriptions, run the default benchmarks.
* Android:
- Fix crash on platforms not supporting glMapBufferOES.
- Log the glmark2 score when finishing.
- Log an error message if we fail to find a suitable EGLContext.
- Implement various stability improvements.
glmark2 2011.12 (20111215)
==========================
* Add benchmark for bilinear filtering implemented in the fragment
shader (not included in the default benchmarks).
* Ensure we don't call any GL functions before binding a GL context.
* Fix bug in the ShaderSource object that could lead to shader
compilation errors in strict OpenGL ES 2.0 implementations.
