Well, we are already mixing GL_*_ARB, GL_*_EXT, GL_*_NV, ... Why not replace
all these extensions (which may or may not be defined in the header files)
by our own 'extension superset', called GL_*_WINE ?

Well, the problem with the approach you are using now in D3D8 is that you
are using the same name than the official one... And this could easily lead
to 'name clashes' with #define or typedef renaming.

So either we do everything ourselves or we go my way, but I do not think
your way is fixing all problems :-)

What is non-readable in what I propose ? You find _WINE so ugly ? You prefer
_ARB or _EXT ?

Well, I already use 79 API calls in D3D7. And I did not count how many of
the GL enums, but surely more.

I think it would really be a pain to re-do all this ourselves. So if we go
the 'let's have our own extension files', at least take header files from an
'external vendor' (for example Mesa) and massage our code for it to work on
these headers.

At least if we have breakage, it will always be internal and never due to
external dependencies.

Or we could auto-generate these headers :-)

Can you tell me any breakage introduced by old gl.h ? If you tell me 'They
define extensions too !!!', this is not problem for my way as all extensions
would be redefined with the _WINE suffix :-)
