/**
 * The ppapi_simple library simplifies the use of the Pepper interfaces by
 * providing a more traditional 'C' or 'C++' style framework.  The library
 * creates an PSInstance derived object based on the ppapi_cpp library and
 * initializes the nacl_io library to provide a POSIX friendly I/O environment.
 *
 * In order to provide a standard blocking environment, the library will hide
 * the actual "Pepper Thread" which is the thread that standard events
 * such as window resize, mouse keyboard, or other inputs arrive.  To prevent
 * blocking, instead we enqueue these events onto a thread safe linked list
 * and expect them to be processed on a new thread.  In addition, the library
 * will automatically start a new thread on which can be used effectively
 * as a "main" entry point.
 *
 * For C style development, ppapi_simple allows applications to be written using
 * a traditaional "main".  All events are pushed onto an event queue which can
 * then be pulled from this new thread.
 * NOTE: The link will still need libstdc++ and libppapi_cpp since the library
 * is still creating a C++ object which does the initialization work and
 * forwards the events.
 *
 * For C++ style development, use the ppapi_simple_instance.h,
 * ppapi_simple_instance_2d.h, and ppapi_simple_instance_3d.h headers as
 * a base class, and overload the appropriate virtual functions such as
 * Main, ChangeContext, or Render.
