But in GLES, GL_BYTE is the only valid format (other than luminance formats)
that can be given to glReadPixels. Do you suggest that we have two
implementations for this function, one for GLES and one for GL, that only differ
by GL_BYTE vs GL_FLOAT? That seems to be the only sensible alternative to this
patch, and I don't think it's very sensible.
