Great! I'll take a look at it later today.

Note that for Windows/MacOSX the wrapper is created in
/path/to/apitrace/wrappers, to avoid interfering with glretrace.  So
try

    export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Users/cworth/src/apitrace/wrappers

instead.

Actually I want to uniformize everything: put all in a wrappers
subdir, and rename glxtrace.so as libGL.so.1, so that we can trace on
linux both with LD_PRELOAD or LD_LIBRARY_PATH (given the later
mechanism is actually more robust, and required for Unigine, althought
trickier to to setup), but I was waiting for "apitrace trace" to come
to life, so that all this nasty business could become hidden from
users.
