This sounds like a good idea. I was thinking about adding this
(in particular, to expose some more of the NVidia extensions
which take float* instead of void*) but got hung up because some
of the more interesting extensions require wgl or glX to be
exposed to Java via some portability layer. For most routines the
presence of the additional overloads will probably be helpful.
