Re: Re : [Chicken-users] opengl egg naming scheme

[Zbigniew]

Isn't the only difference the lack of a colon?  It would be trivial to
auto-generate a shim file with all the defines in it that you could
simply include with your code.    Certainly no more difficult than
renaming the opengl egg in the first place.

*If* I started using the opengl egg seriously, I would have done
something similar to convert everything to hyphenated style, e.g.
gl:load-identity, gl:matrix-mode, and maybe eventually just suggested
a patch.  But I haven't used it enough to mind.

Nevertheless I would prefer you not modify the egg itself to do
glLikeThis as it would just be a step backward (IMHO).
