Yes - it's kindof a reversal of it.  With xgl, you have to manually
write 'xglBegin' instead of 'glBegin' - and the header file conditionally
convert the xgl's to gl's.  With my new code, you can just write 'glBegin'
and the header will map it to a routine with another name if it needs to.

The second way is a lot more convenient - I have no idea why I didn't think
of doing it like that in the first place!

Hopefully, when I finish dinking with this new stuff, it should be
easy to capture a frame of imagery with the bug in it - and then
reduce that code down to something small enough to understand.
