Attached is an auto-generated wrapper for the module.  I don't have any
test-code to exercise it, so expect that it is going to break :) .  If
you have some example/test code that uses it, I can look at making it
part of the PyOpenGL distribution (unlikely) or distributing it as a
separate module (more likely).  The mechanism doesn't allow for
hardware-accelerated rendering, so I don't expect that there will be all
that many users.

HTH,
Mike
