[Bf-viewport] OpenGL low level shader API proposal

[Yuri Kovelenov (Phone)]

+1 for OpenGL ES 2.0 compatibility. This would allow for better WebGL/Blend4Web integration. We are also ready to share our code with you guys.

Is this the case? i would make the argument that we might want to try and keep OpenGL ES 2.0 and OpenGL 2.1 for as long as possible.
Especially on windows keeping ES 2.0 + what ANGLE exposes could really help us have a good fallback. 
On android and IOS GL ES 2.0 / 3.0 could allow us to run blender there. And even compile blender for Google's NaCl stuf..

We should not do this regardless of the cost but we should not discard this without seriously considering if this is feasible.
