Hi Jean-Luc,

I appreciate where your comming from, the problem was though that it
wasn't working for everyone, was actually crashing the game engine on some 
machines.

Note: I did not change any of the tests, I simply removed the header
because it was old and did not work with some hardware.  Its also
something I believe that we shouldn't have in the code.  We don't include GL.h
Its a header that should be done at the platform level not the software.

I'm sorry its not working for you,  I'm willing to try and help
you get it working.  I haven't had a chance to test things on my
macbook, will do that tonight.  On my linux machine with an NVIDIA
card I have no problems with the gameengine demos, I can also,
setenv WITHOUT_GLEXT 1 and turn it off if I want to.
(The other thing the patch does)
