Or, you can set the texture environment to DECAL mode (I think I got
that right - I'm at home and my code is at work - Lance can correct me
if that's slightly off) :)

I use lighting when I want to turn the texture on and off during
run-time; decal-mode if the texture is always on. I don't know if there
is a performance difference.
