| Some of the GNU/Linux distributions uses a "custom" version of Mesa which |
| include the last SGI's version of the glext.h file, which is good :-). |
| The other GNU/Linux distributions use a strict distribution of Mesa, |
| which migth use an older version of that file. So if you encounter |
| some problems during the NeL compilation concerning the GL_GLEXT_VERSION, |
| you should download the last version of the glext.h on SGI's website : |
