Awesome!  Much appreciated...  It's a weight off my mind to
not have to worry about the API changing.


BTW, here's one possible way to define the prefixed methods
and constants, if you prefer to work with them that way.

You could require a file that does something like the
following:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
require 'opengl'

class Object
  (GL.methods - Object.methods).each do |m|
    define_method("gl#{m}") {|*args| GL.send(m, *args)}
  end

  (GLU.methods - Object.methods).each do |m|
    define_method("glu#{m}") {|*args| GLU.send(m, *args)}
  end
end

GL.constants.each do |c|
  Object.const_set("GL_#{c}", GL.const_get(c))
end

GLU.constants.each do |c|
  Object.const_set("GLU_#{c}", GLU.const_get(c))
end
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This should import the GL and GLU methods and constants
into the global namespace, using their traditional
prefixed nomenclature.

(Note: Only lightly tested... but I think it works.. :)
