a) "CallGL - call OpenGL functions from a string"
   The JNI part is at libvob/src/jni/Main.cxx and
   libvob/org/nongnu/libvob/gl/GL.java. You can't use callgl alone from
   Java but lwjgl could include it if they wanted to.
b) You will need a native implementation on the native side, so if you use
   one, there isn't much of a point using yet another native part such as
   lwjgl (which was the subject of this discussion).

Still boils down to: I don't want to slow you down doing this, more than
to suggest that if you make it, at least make it something we can use
better than what we already have.
