I reviewed them and gave Jordan some feedback before he sent them out to 
the list.

Initially the core profile infrastructure is for OpenGL 3.0 
forward-compatible contexts.  We'll eventually need it OpenGL 3.2.  I'd 
also like to piggyback some changes on this series to kill off the GLES 
wrappers.
