I'm not super interested in it, though it seems like a nice thing to 
have once GL3 and GLSL 1.30 are in place.  I wouldn't bother doing it 
first, though.

That should be pretty trivial.  I'm guessing they're just the GLSL 1.30 
functions but using the old names.  Just need to add those to 
texture_builtins.py and create new EXT_gpu_shader4.(vert|frag) profiles 
with the prototypes.
