This is what I understood from GL_SELECT behavior : "Both the minimum and
maximum window-coordinate z values of all vertices of the primitives that
intersected the viewing volume"
So by looping over buffer[] I'm trying to find the min/max z for the entry (at
least that was the point, but maybe it's incorrectly done :-))

What happens if user changes something : it will not work reliably... Thanks to
remind me of this problem which I almost forgot.
Now the necessary state change should be limited :
- GL_DEPTH_TEST : I don't understand why it doesn't work with it enabled, but
it definitely not be changed
- GL_SCISSOR : this one is more annoying, as it's wrong to disable it too
(maybe the user really wants to GL_SELECT on a sub area of the window). But as
glScissor take window coordinates values, those should be changed before
drawing (scissor_width would become : scissor_width * fbo_width / window_width)
- FBO is needed

The 1st version of the patch had a custom drawing function
('select_draw_func'). Initially I was doing some state changes over there, but
it caused problem in 'vbo_exec_FlushVertices' with this assert :
assert(exec->flush_call_depth == 1);
But sure, it would be safer to have some state check/change over there.
