Never mind, I was starting to get confused, too.. :-)

Could you check for GLX 1.3 at compile time? I suppose not, but maybe 
there is a way?

I think this is the best argument to convince them to just switch to 
glXMakeCurrent.

They have the standard sourceforge bug tracker here:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=browse&group_id=1032&atid=101032
But it rather looks like nobody ever looks in there.. :-/

Yours, Florian
