In your message of 9 September 1999 you write:

For shake of portability with wglGetProcAddress, I would recommand
that there is only a glXGetProcAddress() that returns pointers to GL
and GLX functions. The way a port could be done very trivially for an
application:

#ifdef linux
#define wglGetProcAddress glXGetProcAddress
#endif

If there is a seperate treatment of GL vs. GLX functions there is a
lot of source-code changes involved.
