[Mesa-dev] Nuking GL_NV_vertex_program

[Jose Fonseca]

I think certain versions of SPEC viewperf rely on NV_vertex_program. See http://www.mesa3d.org/viewperf.html

We had some internal hacks to support just the bare minimum of to run some of these tests, but they were not accepted on mesa proper. (There is some bug report on fdo about it).
