Does anyone have any comments on these issues? I'm just about to start work
again on glGui, so it would be nice if we had the relevant discussions
*before* I begin. [My contract work with Intel has taken prominence over the
last couple of weeks]

For those who don't know, I will be using glGui in my next game title. I
will definitely be doing a Direct3D version of glGui, but we absolutely need
to keep full OpenGL functionality. ;-)
