I guess its a version conflict.

Keep that political correctness speech asside ;)
I meant exactly what I wrote, I have too many broken hardware/software
combinations here are work that I have to handle (Xorg and drivers and
libGL and ...), so I do not want to work with broken OpenGL configs in
my spare time.
If somebody else does, I'm happy. You're right, I won't need much from
GLU, so it can be emulated.

Other than that it looks o.k. Currently I'm working on YUV conversion on
the gfx card, so I don't have a clean tree here and would like to wait
until I'm finished with that work.
So check your math and if you think its alright post it, I'll include it
as soon as I'm finished with my work.
