it's currently in progress: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119189

there are some details to work out, especially for synchronization and
portability, but 3.16 should have API to integrate with OpenGL.

you'll have to write a vapi file, or you'll have to add introspection

ability to draw with random GL calls; it's meant to be a way to draw
with Cairo calls on a GL rendering surface.
