Are there any known programs from BeOS days that require OpenGL, and for
which ones do we no access to source code?  And if so are those program
worth the effort that would be required to keep them running on a gcc2 only
system?  What I'm saying is, is there even a good reason to support OpenGL
for gcc2?  I mean we waited and waited for the original OpenGL kit to come
out from Be but was it ever released in an official release?  If not then
maybe keep the focus on 9.3 for gcc4?
