the main reason for doing this is so that we can have
access to informations about a texture (like its dimension)
close to where we generate and use shaders in ES 2.0.
Previously, there wasn't any way to get to a texture's size
from a RenderEngine implementation.

- turns out fragment shaders don't have default precision by default
- GLES 1.x extensions that became core in GLES 2.0 don't always work
as extensions in GLES 2.0 (!)

the Mesh object can be part of each Layer (at least currently).
also reworked the Mesh code a bit to make it easier to access
the vertex data.
