 I hope it's ok for me to plug this here: take a look at GLEW,
 http://glew.sf.net/, a library that eases the use of OpenGL extensions.
 Disclaimer: I'm one of the authors of that library.  It includes
 support for currently available OpenGL extensions, with a couple of
 exceptions (SGI extensions to GLX, IIRC).  It's very easy to use, very
 portable, and we have paid attention to portability.  It works on
 Windows, Linux, MacOS and IRIX.

 HTH,
