That was kind of the original question.  Is there an ABI issue?  The
only way for applications to get at the GLSL compiler is through the
GL interface.  The GL interface is entirely C-based and *must* remain
unchanged.  The application has no way to know what we used for the
internals.  Technically, we ought to be able to do it in Cobol, but we
don't hate ourselves that much.
