Well, you could conceivably add the set of SGI extensions that I
personally use - but that's not fair to all the other people who I'm
batting for.
Of the members of this group, I may be the only one who doesn't develop
OpenGL implementations or work for a big games house or something.
It looks like I'm the one who speaks for the the bulk of non-commercial
Linux programmers out there.
Putting just the extensions I personally need into just the one
libGL.so that I happen to use would solve MY needs - but that's
hardly fair to the people I'm speaking for.
