I should have mentioned that the binding I mentioned is merely an
update of Mark Kilgard's old one.

The down side is that it's _very_ thin.  Probably too thin.  Looks
like it was done mostly with some tool.

On the other hand, I re-implemented the Asteroids game that was
included with Mark's distribution and made it nearly complete.  It
makes a nice introduction to the callback architecture of OpenGL for
folks seeing this kind of thing for the first time.  Lots of fun, too.
