    Hi, 
    I agree with Stephane Brunet, The fact that a gtk/gtkglext application 
    can be ported to Win32 without any change is very important for me too.
    See for example: 
    http://cermics.enpc.fr/~jpc/scilab/site/Scilab-Gtk/Scilab-Gtk/nsp.png 
    where the drakar is obtained through gtkglext. This screenshot is 
    obtained from a fast port of a nsp Linux/gtk application.
