Hmm, I think that would require that the system used to build the binary 
have up to 1.3/1.4 available in it's library, wouldn't it?  The wrappers 
are generated for each version of OpenGL present in the platform's 
OpenGL library.  Without those libraries I can't see how to compile the 
wrappers.  I may be missing something, though.

Would be nice to get a 1.4 windows DLL to test all these hypothetically 
supported features :) .

Anyway, to the OP, for this particular case, it's quite easy just to use 
the numeric values for the GL_MAX_ELEMENTS_VERTICES constants.  Not a 
solution, but a work-around.

Take care,
Mike
