This isn't entirely a showstopper.  Polygon offset works for lines,
but you have to enable it explicitly and there are some confusing
rules regarding wide lines.

Hrm.  That's nastier.  David is right, that clip planes can be very
slow on some hardware, and cause interactions on others.  NVidia cards
actually use one of the texture units to do user clip planes (which is
awfully elegant, but really weird).

If it's entirely 2D rendering, though, and all that it's drawing is
lines, then doing the clipping yourself is really easy and probably
not too slow.

But maybe you're right, that a custom-built FlightGear EFIS would be
simpler.
