Ok.

Hmm. I guess from the perspective of the SNAP libraries we should 
probably just export all the standard functions but none of the ARB 
functions. With our Windows DLL switching library we actually did the 
GetProcAddress() stuff on behalf of the user apps and filled in out 
function table for them, if the OpenGL DLL we loaded did not have the 
missing 1.2 functions ;-)

Thanks!
