I don't know if opengl supports all the mapping modes (cubes, sphere, tube, flat,
then orco, glob, object, etc.), blending modes, etc. .. Neither does the game
engine support multi-texturing, as you will know.

But I agree that a more unified material system, and of course, more
similarity of potatoe mode and game engine (which are increasingly
drifting apart, especially with specularity and quad lamps) would be
useful..
