a extra library of glfw

GLFW-ext

1.introduction

This is a extra library of glfw from http://www.glfw.org/ (Only for version 3.1.2 for now.).
The extra feature is that you can create a glfw object and its associated context by with existing native handles. That solved many problems. Such as, render on a child window, render on a unknown window but handle, etc.
