Hi Paul,

It is not actually true that the strip generated by GTS are not
suitable for GL. It would be more accurate to say that they are not
directly usable (i.e. they are not list of ordered vertices but lists
of adjacent triangles). There is also the issue of vertex ordering
which requires the use of "vertex swaps" in GL lists. 

You should consult the following paper for a clear overview of the
various operating mode of the GL engine for triangle strips
