I've done some searching on the net for an instancing extension and two seem 
to exist:
An older NVidia specific extension "NVX_instanced_arrays"
http://http.download.nvidia.com/developer/presentations/2006/gdc/2006-GDC_OpenGL_NV_exts.pdf

and a newer "ext_draw_instanced" which seems to be more "official". I've 
however read several times that it apparently only works on 8800 series cards 
or newer.

Possibly nothing new to you folks but maybe it saves some time on research.
