It's a subset of mesa. Basically, it's like those specialized miniGL
drivers for Quake or Quake2 on windows. In fact, it *is* a miniGL
driver for Quake2, as it has everything that was needed by Heretic II
:)
Theoretically, there would not be any difference to "real" OpenGL, but
I didn't have time to add a GLUT, there is only some minimal
native-mode API. It should not be a problem, though, for someone to
add a GLUT lookalike to it (miniGLUT?)

Soon... Yeah, I know, you heard that line before...
There will be a demo version RSN, this or next week... Depends on when
I get the stuff packed together...
