I've attached my patch to the error report. Sorry for sitting on this  
for so long, but I was too busy with other things.

Now it's up to the powers-that-be to check the patch and hopefully  
apply it. I would also like to make a case for doing a new  
distribution. Without a new source distribution PyOpenGL is basically  
unusable on MacOSX, unless you build from CVS. And building from CVS is  
a horrendous experience, because the swig output files are not in CVS,  
_and_ swig is a fast-moving target, _and_ you need to get the exact  
right version of swig to have any success building PyOpenGL. Actually,  
I would also like to make a case for including the swig-generated files  
in CVS. I do the same for MacPython toolbox modules, and it's a boon  
for people who aren't interested in hardcore development of the package  
itself but just want to be on the bleeding edge.
