This PR adds a simple example that allows to test and showcase the `Window::open_parented` method. That example first creates a parent window using `Window::open_blocking`, and then creates a smaller child window using `Window::open_parented`. Both window's handlers log all of their events to the console, in a similar fashion to the `open_window` example. Both windows actually do rendering (unlike the `open_window` example for now): the parent fills its window with a grey backround, and the child fills its window with a red background. This example also uses the `softbuffer` crate to perform the rendering, which allows testing it in a more portable manner and in the simplest use case possible, without having to involve OpenGL or any 3D rendering pipeline at all. |

baseview
A low-level windowing system geared towards making audio plugin UIs.
baseview abstracts the platform-specific windowing APIs (winapi, cocoa, xcb) into a platform-independent API, but otherwise gets out of your way so you can write plugin UIs.
