/**
 * The base manager class for the OpenGL language mapping for Java !
 *
 * <p>
 * If you are interessting in further Documentation and/or
 * the history of GL4Java follow the following link.
 * 
 * <pre>
        <a href="../GL4Java.html">The GL4Java Documentation</a>
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 *
 * All native libraries and GLFunc* and GLUFunc* implementations
 * can/should be loaded right here !
 *
 * <pre>
 	<a href="GLContext.html#loadNativeLibraries(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String)">loadNativeLibraries</a>
 	<a href="GLContext.html#createGLFunc(java.lang.String)">createGLFunc</a>
 	<a href="GLContext.html#createGLUFunc(java.lang.String)">createGLUFunc</a>
        <p>
        To check the library versions, you can start the 
 	<a href="GLContext.html#main(java.lang.String[])">main</a>
        function with <code>java gl4java.GLContext</code>
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>
 *
 * This class creates a GLContext in the constructor which fits to the native Window 
 * of the given Component !
 *
 * <pre>
   	<a href="GLContext.html#GLContext(java.awt.Component, gl4java.GLFunc, gl4java.GLUFunc>
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>
 *
 * If you want to port any OpenGL program to GL4Java,
 * you can use 'glc2glj'. This easy kornshell-sed script converts
 * many types and Math function calls ;-). E.g.: All C double constant literals
 * will be changed to floats (0.0 -> 0.0f) and all sin, cos, .. functions
 * will get the '(float)Math.' prefix !
 *
 * <pre>
	<a href="../../../demos/glc2glj">glc2glj - A simple c to java converter for C- and GL-types</a>
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 *
 * The native libraries are plattform depended. 
 *
 * <pre>
	  The default native library's are:
	  <p>
		GL4JavaJauGljJNI    (jdk ==1.1), 
		GL4JavaJauGljJNI12  (jdk ==1.2),
		GL4JavaJauGljJNI13  (jdk >=1.3)
	  <p>
	  To check wich version and vendors are currently used,
	  just call while a GLContext is created :
	  <p>
	  <a href="GLContext.html#gljShowVersions()">gljShowVersions</a>
	  <p>
	  Or just run at the command line:
	  <p>
	  	java gl4java.GLContext -info
	  <p>
 * </pre>
 *
 * Make sure that this library is installed in your library path.
 * The library path is for Unices one path of the environment 
 * variable �LD_LIBRARY_PATH� and for Windows 32 
 * �c:/winnt/system32� (WinNT) or 'c:/windows/system' (Windows 95) .
 * Or it should be installed in the 'jre/bin' or 
 * 'Netscape/communicator/Program/java/bin'  path !
 *
 * <p>
 *
 * To have a convinient usage, e.g. automatic resizing, GLContext
 * and painting/gl-rendering, some classes in the package gl4java.awt
 * may help you.
 * 
 * <pre>
          E.g.: <a href="awt/GLCanvas.html">gl4java.awt.GLCanvas</a> 
	  <p>
	  <a href="awt/GLCanvas.html#init()">init</a> to create the java-stuff and GL-inits 
	  <a href="awt/GLCanvas.html#display()">display</a> to render one frame, called by paint
	  <a href="awt/GLCanvas.html#reshape(int, int)">reshape</a> to reshape (window resize)
          <p>
          Or look for animation at 
	  <a href="awt/GLAnimCanvas.html">gl4java.awt.GLAnimCanvas</a> !
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>
 *
 * IF you remove/release a The component which is binded to this GLContext,
 * you have to release the GLContext also - while calling:
 *
 * <pre>
 	<a href="GLContext.html#gljDestroy()">gljDestroy</a>
 * </pre>
 *
 * before releasing/dispose it�s Window !
 * 
 * <p>
 *
 * We also define our own OpenGL extension. This extension functions
 * start with the prefix glj like you can see here:
