Because glGenTextures only works when you have an active OpenGL context.
As soon as you're running multi-threaded or clustered, the process that
creates the textures is probably not going to be the one that has the
window open.
I also wanted to have a single name space for textures, display lists
etc., to simplify management. glGenTextures and glGenLists work on
separate namespaces, so that wouldn't work for me either.
