Thanks for the input. One question, what are you using SAFE_HEAP for
specifically?

Agreed about GL emulation in principle, although regal had some limitations
as well last I checked, as well as size concerns. Would be good to gather
data on the two options to see which wins on speed, compatibility, size,
etc.
