IIRC the GLDispatcher class was introduced as an object to hand renderer

part of the BeOS driver he once wrote and that
I used to maintain.
I don't see why he should be credited here for something which was written
already under OpenBeOS /Haiku licensing
terms from day one.
When I spoke to him on this, he did mention not remembering writing the
exact code... however his name *was* in the headers which is why I started
with him.
This is a perfect example of the results of bad header upkeep :)
This is a *very* small / simple bit of code, who else should be added to
ensure credit is given?
