Last change on this file since 2921 was 2877, checked in by ldelgass, 12 years ago

Some minor refactoring, also add some more fine grained config.h defines
(e.g. replace NV40 define with feature defines). Add tests for some required
OpenGL extensions (should always check for extensions or base version before
calling entry points from the extension). Also, clamp diffuse and specular
values on input and warn when they are out of range.
