We tried few months back(* but at that time GLES2 in 0.9/1.0 was
seriously broken. It would be quite a big effort now since we have some
custom Maemo-hacks for performance, and it's unclear to me what is the
(speed) benefit of Clutter 1.0.  If we'd to move to 1.x now, we would
have a period of instability for sure.

However, if GLES2 works nowadays in 1.x, it should be possible to use
1.x in parallel with our old version, the library is not so big either.

*) https://stage.maemo.org/svn/maemo/projects/haf/trunk/clutter/  (the
upstream tarball here is quite old, but the building scripts should be
useful to someone porting 1.x for Maemo 5)
