I had in mind the situation that John Zulauf already discussed -- the
decision about the availability of an extension is made at a higher
level, rather than at each entry into the library.  For example, if
you had a library that drew lit polygons using multitexturing and
light maps, it probably would ``know'' that its high-performance entry
points simply wouldn't be called unless the caller already had
verified that the multitexturing extension was supported.

I wish I'd read my mail earlier today.  Most of the Intrinsic crowd
had lunch at Vito's Pizzeria and Former Bocce Photo Gallery, just down
Monroe from you.  :-)

Sure, let's get the locals together sometime soon.  I'm out of town
Saturday through Monday on Precision Insight business, but maybe later
next week would work.  A pepper cheesesteak would be great!
