Well, I saw that sdljava's GL instance was not really created by or 
obtained from SDL either since you create a glew instance so I am not 
sure how SDL / OpenGL are currently connected.  glew has no direct GLU 
support I guess?

I am trying to port GUIChan (a C++ GUI Toolkit) to Java.  It has support 
for Allegro, SDL & OpenGL so I am also porting the OpenGL/SDL demo 
applications to make sure that my port is working correctly.  Their 
OpenGL fpsdemo needs GLU so I was wondering how difficult it would be to 
get a binding.  It is not urgent, I was just wondering.

Cheers,
Rainer
