More built-in extensions - name your favorite!

[jaromil]

CJIT will stay small and minimal, yet will ship handy built-in extensions for every-day tasks and learning fun.

I'm dumping the shortlist I have in mind here:

Graphics

• https://github.com/glfw/glfw
• https://github.com/nigels-com/glew
• https://github.com/erkkah/tigr
• https://github.com/RobLoach/pntr
• https://github.com/hidefromkgb/gif_load (needs work on examples, perhaps integration in SDL, tigr etc.)
• https://github.com/lecram/gifdec (perhaps better than gif_load)
• https://github.com/memononen/nanosvg

Audio

• https://github.com/toots/shine
• https://github.com/mackron/dr_libs

UI

• https://github.com/rxi/microui/
• https://github.com/LazyJazz/tinyfiledialogs
• https://github.com/MrFrenik/gunslinger (maybe too big?*)
• https://github.com/floooh/sokol (maybe too big?*)

Utils

• https://github.com/cxong/tinydir
• https://github.com/iglunix/glibr
• https://github.com/brunexgeek/waitkey
• https://www.jonolick.com/code.html
• https://github.com/codeplea/tinyexpr

* Should check how easy is to link externally sokol, gunslinger and similar bigger libraries, perhaps also include how in the tutorial, then there is no need to include them as built-in since the are biggish.

Comments welcome! Here or on this r/C_Programming thread

Similar to dr_wav (part of dr_libs), but only for wav files: https://github.com/mhroth/tinywav

After pondering this plan I concluded is not worth to beef up cjit executable with anything that can be linked and used as external library or header, so this issue is a plan for the dyne.org/docs/cjit tutorial to illustrate examples of usage of these extensions

maybe an extra folder with the header, or an external extra repo that help the configuration/search hassle that facilitates the tinkering, could be useful. everything up and running in 1sec.
