Core2 isn't old at all, just a couple of years, so yes this is something desirable to support. I'm a bit surprised that GL2 isn't fully supported. > It supports NVIDIA's EXT_stencil_two_side extension only. Looking > on internet, ...

But others may have different opinion. Well we have code that is checked in, and with careful usage would be safe, but... portability is an issue that anyone uses the NVidia route would need to take care of. > Do you think it will be too difficult to develop "proper" solution?

Perhaps "proper" solution might be something like eating the GL_STENCIL_TEST_TWO_SIDE when under GL2/ATI.
