The swig generated bindings of lispbuilder-opengl are a lot closer to the  
C API. The cl-opengl bindings are more 'Lispy' and have a much richer  
abstraction layer. I believe that that most people who use lispbuilder-sdl  
& opengl use cl-opengl. The CFFI and cl-opengl projects also have the same  
maintainer.

Whereas the lispbuilder-sdl bindings are generated using SWIG, cl-opengl  
has Lisp code to generate low-level bindings from the OpenGL spec files.  
I'm not sure what the advantage or disadvantage is to using the spec files  
apart from removing an extra dependency on SWIG when rebuilding the  
bindings fron scratch.
