What is this "Ganesh" of which you speak?

[Kevin Hart]

OK, it's probably no big deal, but I keep seeing references to "Ganesh" in various documentation and comments, but there are no files or directories with "Ganesh" in the name.  The functionality ascribed to this elusive component seems to be implemented by the code in src/gpu.  So can someone give me a history lesson?  Where did Ganesh come from, and where did it go?

"Ganesh" is just another name for the GL device implementation, basically all the files which start with Gr in the code base. It was originally designed to be separable from Skia, hence the different name. It probably isn't very separable any more.
