The call to pfInitGfx() decides (based on graphics type) to enable or
disable texturing; this is done during the pipe-initialization phase.

Within 'perfly', just hit 't' or click the 'texture' button.

To override Performer's default in your program, add a call to
pfEnable(PFEN_TEXTURE) after pfInitGfx() in a pipe-init callback.
